In a Flash

Dell tech support tells me that a USB 1.1 flash drive isn't compatible with USB 2.0 and vice versa. The latter I know to be true since my USB 2.0 key won't work with my desktop. Is the former true as well, that a 1.1 won't work with my laptop, which has USB 2.0? Say it ain't so. I don't much feel like adding a PCI card to my desktop.

You should be able to connect a 1.1 device to a 2.0 bus and have it work fine. Obviously, the 2.0 speed is not going to be there. You'll get the 12mbps max that 1.1 offers, but it should still work. I use 1.1 key at home all the time, and it's a 2.0 system.
