The USB 2 spec permits devices to operate in "full speed" mode, which
is really USB 1's 12Mb/s, and still call themselves USB 2. *Just because
a device say its "USB 2" means nothing without it also saying what mode
it operates in. We all want "hi-speed" mode which is the 480Mb/s one.

Looking at Zoom's specs it says...

* * USB2.0 Full-Speed compatible

And the USB 2 spec says...

* * Full-speed * *Full-speed USB operation at 12 Mb/s.

BTW I have an H4 and its a great little device for the money even if
it only has a "full-speed" i/f.


Thanks for the clarification! Muchly appreciated!

Dang, that sucks.
