Os X Usb

Is there some sort of "ahem" control panel to set USB speed? I can't seem to fins one and my Visor, printer and cameras take forever to transfer. Thanks,
Sterling

AFAIK, USB is as slow as the slowest device on the chain/hub. You can't 'set' it to anything.

http://www.usb.org/faq.html -- especially this one.

It could also be the OS X implementation of the USB drivers, or maybe you're using the Classic environment when using these devices; I've heard that can slow things down.
