I believe what Paul was saying was that _IF_ a USB 3.0 Controller is |
| 24 |
designed to support both 3.0 AND 2.0 devices then the socket is |
| 25 |
compatible with both 2.0 & 3.0 cables. However if you use a 2.0 cable |
| 26 |
you have to use a 2.0 device. You cannot, TTBOMK, use a 2.0 cable with |
| 27 |
a 3.0 device. |

At least that's how I read his response. |
