Seems this either a typo, or a contradiction: |
| 2 |
"The USB 3.0 sockets are backward-compatible with older ... cables" |
| 3 |
would mean I can use the old cables for 3.0, but then |
| 4 |
"but older USB cables are not forward-compatible with USB 3.0" |
| 5 |
says I can NOT use the old cables. |
| 6 |
I have no 3.0, but some day I probably will, so I'd like to know what |
| 7 |
exactly you mean. |

kind regards |
