A new driver (designed for a new device) may be too 'new' to work on an older device. Using an old driver, in this case, avoids having to buy a new device when the old device is still working efficiently.

Can you convert usb 1.0 to usb 2.0?
USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 are similar but USB 2.0 provides for a much faster data transfer rate. The USB 1.0 specification operates at 12Mbit/s and the USB 2.0 specification operates at 480Mbits/s Although a 1.0 device cannot operate at 2.0 speeds, the two are compatible. Connecting a USB 1.0 device to a USB 2.0 port or connecting a USB 2.0 device to a USB 1.0 port are both possible. Any device, port or hub that is a 1.0 standard will reduce the data rate to the 1.0 standard. The USB 2.0 specification was adopted in 2001 and most USB devices now conform to the later standard. Older computers may have USB 1.0 ports fitted but will still operate without problems for most applications.

A USB port gets information about the device from the device, while the old type serial port simply transmitted data. USB to serial adapters do exist, but compatibility can be a challenge.
