The Kensington Card Reader can transfer data at up to 480 Megabits per second.  If
your computer, operating system, and USB port (and USB hub if you use one) support
USB 2.0, your card reader will automatically use this high-speed transfer. If not, your
card reader will still work, but at the USB 1.1 full speed of 12 Megabits per second.
With USB 2.0, the transfer rate is limited by the read/write speed of the flash memory
card.

Hardware built before April 2002 usually supports USB 1.1. If your computer has USB
1.1 ports built in, you can purchase a USB 2.0 plug-in card. The following operating sys-
tems support USB 2.0: Windows 2000 with Microsoft USB driver version 5.1.2600.0,
Windows XP with Service Pack 3 or higher, and Mac OS 10.2.2 or higher.
