There is no default USB port and no need to disable anything.

My sister got a Camera that requires a USB 1.1 or higher port on the
computer. She has a several year old Compaq Presario with the old 1.0 (?)
USB ports on it, I can get a PCI card with two 2.0 USB ports on it for $
10.00 or so but my question is what about the existing 1.0 USB ports, will
plugging in the new PCI USB card disable the old USB ports (that would be
fine there not used anyway) or will they all be daisy chained together ? I
see no way to disable the on-board USB ports in Setup and there is no easy
way to physically disconnect the old USB ports cause they are soldered on
the mother board. Do I spend the $ 10.00 for the USB PCI card plug in in
and hope for the best ? Or is there a way to have Windows 98 default to the
new USB ports ?
