If you have a desktop, purchase a PCI USB 2.0/firewire add-in card (quite
inexpensive). If you have a laptop, if purchase a powered USB 2.0 hub. See
this link for more information:

I don't think a powered USB 2.0 hub is going to get you 2.0 speed unless
the laptop already has at least one USB 2.0 port to which the hub can be
connected.

OTHO, if the laptop has a PCMCIA Type II 32-bit CardBus slot, one could
get a PCMCIA card with USB 2.0 ports and that might do better (I assume,
but don't know, that these adapters can in fact use the cardbus
interface to reach the 480 Mbps max of USB 2.0):

Thanks, Lem. I did wonder about that but a quick (*very* quick) reading at
the link I gave the OP seemed to indicate that a powered USB 2.0 hub would
do the trick. You probably are right though and the pc card is the way to
go. Since the OP didn't tell us what kind of computer he has, he'll have to
come back if he wants more help. "Yeh". ;-)

Hi

Many times this message comes when using computers from few years ago.

Some computers have a mix of USB 1.1 Ports and USB 2.0 Ports.

Or USB 1.1 in the back and USB2.0 available through headers on the
Motherboard.

The headers can be used by installing header to standard USB jack bracket
that are placed on an available slot opening on the back of the computer.

Otherwise a PCI 2 card (as mentioned by Malke),  or a USB2 Cardbus for
Laptop can help.
