I'm sorry, but USB 2.0 would<ol type="a">
  • be too fast for the empeg's CPU anyway (i.e. you wouldn't win much over USB1.1 or 10MBit Ethernet)
  • it would require serious hardware modification. AFAIK, the USB 1.1 controller is built into the ARM 1100 CPU of the empeg, and thus would need to be replaced by a different CPU plus an external USB 2.0 controller etc.
    </ol>Like upgrading from UDMA33 to UDMA66 (or from UltraSCSI to UltraWideSCSI), you need a new controller that supports the speed on a hardware level.

    Edit: Hey Tony, I think this one qualifies for an FAQ entry by now.
