The USB Process When the host powers up, it queries all of the devices connected to the bus and assigns each one an address. This process is called enumeration -- devices are also enumerated when they connect to the bus. The host also finds out from each device what type of data transfer it wishes to perform: Interrupt - A device like a mouse or a keyboard, which will be sending very little data, would choose the interrupt mode. Bulk - A device like a printer, which receives data in one big packet, uses the bulk transfer mode. A block of data is sent to the printer (in 64-byte chunks) and verified to make sure it is correct. Isochronous - A streaming device (such as speakers) uses the isochronous mode. Data streams between the device and the host in real-time, and there is no error correction. The host can also send commands or query parameters with control packets. As devices are enumerated, the host is keeping track of the total bandwidth that all of the isochronous and interrupt devices are requesting. They can consume up to 90 percent of the 480 Mbps of bandwidth that is available. After 90 percent is used up, the host denies access to any other isochronous or interrupt devices. Control packets and packets for bulk transfers use any bandwidth left over (at least 10 percent). The Universal Serial Bus divides the available bandwidth into frames, and the host controls the frames. Frames contain 1,500 bytes, and a new frame starts every millisecond. During a frame, isochronous and interrupt devices get a slot so they are guaranteed the bandwidth they need. Bulk and control transfers use whatever space is left. The technical links at the end of the article contain lots of detail if you would like to learn more.
Yes. Take a mini USB from another device, like a camera or mp3 player. If it is the right type, it will fit into the slot on the controller and charge/sync it.
To reset a PS3 controller to a different PS3 connect the controller to the PS3 you want to connect it to with a charge cable. Press the PS button and wait for it to connect to the new console. After it connects your controller will now work with the new PS3.
The PlayStation 3 wireless controller will still work even if it isn't charging when connected via the USB cable. It will not delay the charging time at all to use the controller while it is charging using the charging cable and should be fully charged within 2 hours for the Dual Shock 3 controller. If the controller will not take charge, it will eventually stop working .
The only way that older Playstation 2 dual shock controllers will function with a Playstation 3 unit is through the use of a Usb controller adapter cord which allows the controller to be plugged in through the units Usb port and used.
no the Dual Shock 3 controller is Bluetooth and the PS2 does not have Bluetooth, although it would still not work for other reasons

A USB host controller is a piece of hardware. It is usually incorporated into the southbridge in your motherboard. As such, it cannot be downloaded. If you want to upgrade a low-speed USB controller to a high speed controller you will have to buy a new high-speed controller. Changes are the old controller is not removeable and not upgradeable.

Typically it is a usb port 2.0.
127 USB devices are supported by one host controller.

If you have Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) then you can add USB 2.0 drivers to enable the USB host controller to operate at USB2.0 speeds. Windows XP Service Pack 1 is released with USB1.1 (slow) host controller device drivers. From SP2 and onwards USB2.0 is supported by default. See the related link for more info about why USB 2.0 operate at USB 1.1 (slow) speed.
If you're using older drivers you won't be able to use high speed. Check to see if there are newer drivers available for your USB ports.
Yes there is. Buslink makes a 4 port PCMCIA USB 2.0 Host controller, fo about $28. You can find one at http://www.mypcgoodies.com/details.asp?item=HM09101%2D1
It does not work except to charge the controller.
No, They are also available on expansion cards.
With the USB cord that came with the PS3 if pushing the PS3 symbol on the controller does not work
