Early USB was terrible on both hardware and software support. It took a long time for most people to stop using parallel. Honestly, the only thing I ever used USB for before the USB2.0 era was computer mice.
- dheera 4y agoI usually ended using the PS/2 adapters because the USB mice wouldn't work when you first plugged them in, but they did if you used the PS/2 adapter, and then I'd just leave them that way.

- bluedino 4y agoI had a USB 1 IoMega CD-RW that made quite a few coasters. I got a hold of a FireWire card and a Sony CD-RW (i.Link or whatever they called their version) and never looked back.
