It installed and rebooted. But when I plugged a flash drive in again, the Add New Hardware Wizard no longer opened automatically, and the flash drive was still not recognized in my computer. I have nothing against floppy disks, really, but being able to use USB flash drives would be far more practical. This wouldn't be as important if I could get one of the modems to work, but right now neither is working. I believe someone is getting an external US Robotics 56k modem for me on eBay at the moment, and my hunch is external modems are more reliable than internal modems so that one may work more seamlessly.
I'm not so sure though, given my problems so far. I extracted the files for the second driver but I found just a bunch of ". I didn't do anything after that. I am following the procedures available online for getting Windows 98 to work with USB 2. Do I just need drivers, or is some other change required? My main reason for needing USB 2. I have a feeling I may need to do trial and error to get the right drivers, and given the capacity of a floppy disk that route would not really be practical.
At the moment, however, floppy disks are the only thing working perfectly for me. Fortunately, there are some generic drivers available, such as from here. I found this site by searching the web for "windows 98 usb mass storage driver" - other sites are available with similar drivers.
You'll need the version for Second Edition. This particular driver is a self-installing EXE file, so it's just a case of running the downloaded file and rebooting afterwards.
I used them myself some years ago and can attest to the fact that they work, although there is a warning on the website that they may not work with all available USB mass storage devices.
One solution is to use a USB-to-Floppy interface adapter. One brand of these is Gotek. You can even mount it in a drive bay, perhaps in place of the original floppy drive. The computer will think it's reading a floppy disk when it's actually reading a floppy image file on a USB stick. But not many manufacturers provided them, limiting usable USB drives. You just use the CF card as a removable Hard drive. Old game consoles and some laptops use them instead of real HDDs.
I still have one working in here. So you use one such adapter in your old computer and in the new one you just need a card reader, or another adapter if PATA is still an option. In your case, I would first try the on-board USB 1. The usual stuff that I installed was:. You can find those in here How to patch binaries in DOS? This is certainly possible with third-party software.
NUSB :. NUSB in languages other than English. Mirror 1 :. Unfortunately, they often do not come with drivers because Windows Me, , XP and Vista all come with generic drivers already installed.
This way all you need to do is plug the drive in, Windows will recognise it and you will automatically see the drive in My Computer.
Some manufacturers do however, provide the Windows 98 drivers on CD, others have them available to download, and others simply do not have them available at all.
If you are using Windows 98, and you do not know the manufacturer of the storage device, or you can't find the drivers, what can you do? Fortunately, there are some generic Windows 98 USB mass storage device drivers available that work with most such devices. This means that these drivers will work with many makes and models of the following:. Native without installation of additional drivers for each type support USB flash drives, digital photo and videocameras and other similar devices.
Universal Stack USB 2. Remove ALL unknown devices. What this usually means is that you would need to install a special driver for whatever drive you install from the manufacturer.
You can still download 98SE drivers from a few flash drive manufacturer's web sites, but I've found these drivers to be a better solution Whether it is 98 or 98 Second Edition is shown on the right on the first page you see.
These allow many USB devices that have no drivers for 98 and 98SE to work in those operating systems. The 2. The 3. After you have installed these drivers, after you have plugged in or installed a USB device that hasn't been plugged in or installed before, you are prompted to have Windows search for drivers - do that, it will find the drivers, and that same USB device is detected automatically when it's plugged in or installed after that.
An alternate setting which specifies another format defined in FMT-2, or an unknown format, will be ignored. The driver supports one single clock source only. For the asynchronous OUT case the driver supports explicit feedback only. A feedback endpoint must be implemented in the respective alternate setting of the AS interface. The driver does not support implicit feedback.
For the Adaptive IN case the driver does not support a feedforward endpoint. If such an endpoint is present in the alternate setting, it will be ignored. The size of isochronous packets created by the device must be within the limits specified in FMT A function with an audio control interface but no streaming interface is not supported.
The driver supports all descriptor types defined in ADC20, section 4. The following subsections provide comments on some specific descriptor types. An AS interface descriptor must start with alternate setting zero with no endpoint no bandwidth consumption and further alternate settings must be specified in ascending order in compatible USB Audio 2.
Each non-zero alternate setting must specify an isochronous data endpoint, and optionally a feedback endpoint. A non-zero alternate setting without any endpoint is not supported. The bTerminalLink field must refer to a Terminal Entity in the topology and its value must be identical in all alternate settings of an AS interface. For Type I formats, exactly one bit must be set to one in the bmFormats field of the AS interface descriptor. Otherwise, the format will be ignored by the driver. To save bus bandwidth, one AS interface can implement multiple alternate settings with the same format in terms of bNrChannels and AS Format Type Descriptor but different wMaxPacketSize values in the isochronous data endpoint descriptor.
For a given sample rate, the driver selects the alternate setting with the smallest wMaxPacketSize that can fulfill the data rate requirements.
