Unfortunately, even that isn't foolproof. Some PC and motherboard suppliers
(and peripheral suppliers come to that) are less than honest and will claim
that their product supports USB2 when it does not support high speed
communication. They can get away with this because nothing in the USB2
specification makes high speed compulsory.
