I am shopping for a USB switch so that I can share my EPSON Perfection
3200 scanner between two PCs.
I found one at staples ( http://tinyurl.com/322e4 ) which claims to be
both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 according to the specs (
http://tinyurl.com/ywgua ). However, a closer look at the Belkin's
support site ( http://web.belkin.com/support/kb/kb.asp?a=2402&#id=1 )
reveals that "However, 2.0 devices will operate at 1.1 speeds". Which
means that this particular device doesn't fit my needs, since I want
to use my scanner at full USB 2.0 speed.
So, I searched further and found the following device at Newegg:
http://tinyurl.com/yvg27 - This one boasts, too, USB 1.1/USB 2.0
compatibility but this time I have no info to tell whether it supports
USB 2.0 at USB 2.0 speed.
Do you happen to know this device? Does it run at USB 2.0 speed
(480Mbps)?
I tried to contact the manufacturer with this question
(techsupport@adimicro.com), but received no answer.
If you are not familiar with this particular product, do know a USB
switch that will run at USB 2.0 speed?
Thanks,
Sam
