  Okay, I just did a quick test since I don't use mine that often.  I'm
getting about 2.6MBytes/sec with my 7-in-1 reader which probably does
mean I'm getting USB 2.0 speeds.  The brand is Syntax, model number is
UCR-61.  I got it at http://www.allstarshop.com/ probably about a year
ago.  Sadly, I don't see it there anymore.  If I find it anywhere else
(I'm looking to buy one of those 7-in-1/floppy combos soon, so I'll keep
an eye out for it) I'll let you know.
