USB Connectors

The iPAQ Desktop Personal Computer features two internal USB controllers,
each providing data transfer rates up to 12 megabits per second (Mbps). One
of these controllers is dedicated exclusively to a new, full-speed Universal
Serial Bus (USB) connector (shown on the previous page). The other five
USB connectors share the second controller.

Any USB device (including keyboard and mouse) can be connected to any
USB connector. However, Compaq recommends the use of the full-speed
USB connector, with its dedicated 12Mbps controller, for devices such as
scanners, digital cameras, external I/O devices, and printers that can utilize
the additional speed for maximum performance.

Legacy Module

Microsoft Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 will not run properly if the Legacy Module is not
installed or has been removed from the iPAQ Desktop Personal Computer. The Legacy Module is
optional on systems running Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional or Microsoft Windows
Millennium.

The Legacy Module (standard on select models) provides serial, parallel, PS/2
mouse, and PS/2 keyboard connectors. For more information, refer to
chapter 5, “Using the Legacy Module.”
