IEEE1394b surely?

Dabs.com own brand USB memory stick, specifications Hi-Speed USB.  In fact at
dabs it's hard to find something that isn't marked.

Absolutely, I agree with your point in general.

By rebadging everything USB2, it doesn't really matter.  So what it's a little
slower.  You buy a cheap one and it's slow.  You buy an expensive one and it's

want you to take away isn't it?
