The version information *is* there, it's just not obvious.
USB 2.0 adapters use EHCI...
Besides, PIIX4 dates back to the Intel 440BX/LX/ZX/DX days, well before
USB2.
But I very much doubt you'd break anything if you tried connecting it.
It should just connect at merely 12 Mbit/s. Whether the camcorder would
send anything over that speed I don't know.

Hope this helps,
