Is that possible to use USB 2.0 devices with this TP?
How to enable USB 2.0 speeds?
I have XP SP2 and their drivers for USB 2.0 but I only get 1.1 speeds...

The 770/E/ED/X/Z and the 600/E/X all have only USB 1.0/1.1. You cannot achieve USB 2.0 speeds with your built-in ports.

To add a USB 2.0 port, you can buy a PCMCIA/CardBus USB 2.0 card. This should give you USB 2.0 speeds.

Many USB 2.0 devices are backward compatible with USB 1.1 ports, though the transfer speeds will be slowed down to the USB 1.1 speed.
