Yes, the 2.0 is reverse compatible. However it will run at 1.1 speed, so you will not get the full value of the 2.0.

Its possible that the two devices will connect, but a successful USB 2.0 connection requires a USB 2.0 host controller card, a USB 2.0 driver and a USB 2.0 peripheral.
2.0 USB cables are recomended, also, although the 1.1 sec cables are supposed to work.

Your USB 2.0 port is compatible with 1.1. You should have no problem.
