Location of synthesizer

[james collins]

In system profiler, with my USB to serial adaptor cable plugged in,  
under USB Bus it says

USB-Serial Controller

And on the bottom it says under USB Bus:

Host Controller Location:
Built in USB
Host Controller Driver:
AppleUSBUHCI

I have vision, but I like fooling around with my synthesizer. I just  
got off the phone with a best buy geek squad agent. He told me that I  
don't need a driver for the USB to serial adaptor but that I need a  
driver for my doubletalk speech synthesizer. Another thing he said was  
about the USB plug, I have the older style plug 1.0 I think, he talked  
about audio and video. I was told the older style USB cable will work  
but it would be slower. The geek squad agent said they would be the  
same speed, so I am wondering if I can use the older style USB to  
connect my synthesizer?
