Also, just realized there *may* be some confusion here.

USB 2.0 peripherals are backwards compatible with USB 1.1 on you Ti.  
However, the speed on USB 1.1 is slow, and will take forever to sync  
your music the first time. However, on subsequent synching(s), the  
time to sync won't be horrible if you are not syncing more than an  
album or two.


I bought the apricorn PCMCIA card not for my iPod, but for my Canon  
20D. Constantly trying to offload photos or shoot tethered was  
terribly terribly slow on the USB 1.1 bus. Having USB 2.0 was a plus  
when I upgraded to a 5g a year ago!
