    What about those of us that are using 1.x cards on a clone? Safest to keep
    the 1.x card as well? I was hoping to running everything off a 2.0 USB card
    :-( I am sure that some 2.0 devices will be of interest to other Win/Mac
    users as well, as these devices will be more readily available for
    cross-platform than FireWire, although Sony is using FireWire (they call it
    I-Connect) on their Vaio computers.

    Will USB 2.0 support Bluetooth devices or will we have to buy a separate
    card for that as well? Seems to me like MS/Intel et al are coming up with
    too many standards for even their users to keep up, particularly as USB 1.X
    is only starting to get supported on PC's bound for Europe. (I know that
    Bluetooth as a standard was developed by Ericsson.)

    Cheers,

    Brian
