Could someone pleas provide a link for this driver?

Hello, i have managed boot Windows Xp and Geforce 970, but i need also some Audio and Lan driver, and using USBtoLAN adapter as backup and without sounds gaming boring, i had MSI board MSI Z97 Gaming 7 where all these things working, but wasnt available, so i have bought Asrock Z97 Extereme 4/3.1 Yes i could use also USB audio or soundcard, but switching is annoying. Update: Realtek HD 2.74 seems to work fine, so only LAN driver is needed.

Here is VID a PID you my USBtoLan

Reinstall is not a real option.

I did more games testing- Updated: Quake 3 - runs 100% - 90 FPS. 1600z1200 - full details Warcraft III - once 60 FPS, once 5-10 FPS - probably after some driver crash Diablo 2- 50 FPS, once it run very slow, but now is running well Doom 2 - i managed get it working, throught ALT+ENTER and back to fullscreen, but framerate was around 15 FPS Diablo 1 2x times perfect, once 5-10 FPS, i dont know what is now changed.. Hexen 2 demo - OpenGL version is running well, after OpenGL32 replacement (from Windows\System) game running well Heretic 2 demo - crash after menu, probably so OpenGL dll machine is needed, i wanst able to find out, which dll is for opengGl to replace it UT99 - sometimes i start it and its FPS 10 FPS, sometimes is 60 FPS, probably depends what i do before, maybe i driver often broken after other action

Thanks, i have successfully installed these drivers, but still USB is not working at all.

Great it worker for me.

You will need to get the VID and PID for the Device from the Registry. Can you describe it with more details? When device is detected is detected like USB to LAN 10/100 adapter - but im asked to add drivers but i have only some exe to install them.. and even it is installed autodetection is not working and if some inf installed or added to system i really dont know which files are for my adapter.

I won, i just tested Unreal Tournament 99 demo, Quake 3 demo and Diablo demo and its working with Geforce 7950GT passthrough. I have to install Unfociial geforce drivers not from installer, but from some zip some and through have a disk option and inf file, from this post: USB - passthrough is working only for USB2 port and i have sometime i have got freeze and i need to do few restarts (because of USB is not working in safe mode and system protection error in first boot after crash) , to proper boot again.. and i few time i had to do, change GPU to VNC Cirrus make to changes and reboot and use Geforce GPU again Present problems: - some Windows explorer freezes during file operations - file coping is slow and mouse is froze for 5-10secs, i dont know if is just Win98 "feature" or some QEMU problem, i just have vanilla Windows 98 installation, i would like to install some Win98 update rollup if is avalaible. I have using OLD 320 GB 3,5 HDD, maybe with some SSD it would be much faster. Update: HDD speed fixed throught enable DMA options for HDD in Device manager. I know that there are lots of unofficial patches for Win98, but i would like to have much compatibility what is possible. - USB to LAN adapter still not working, so i have to add files through mounted ISO CD drive and WinISO utility - it requires reboot - games in Dos mod, i have tried Doom 2, from sound i can tell that game is running, but i have got, out of range monitor message, im using HP LCD 24 LCD - LP2475w probably need some proper INF driver for Win98, driver is avalaible only for Win2000+ . Maybe could help some Powerstip inf generator magic, but i forgot almost everything about it. - i have tried - NVcheck, but i have got some 1 line string and freeze, so i have only not installed any 512MB patches - Safe mode is working only with VNC -Cirrus driver and USB keyboard passthrought not working for F8 - booting menu. Would be nice disable somewhere that, about crash is Safe mode default boot option. Questions: 1) Is there something like Fraps or HW info for Windows 98? Just for checking system load and FPS? But for Windows 98SE gaming it is already good enough In attachment is my Unraid settings. Here is my problematic USBtoLAN - installation package it like, that is for all Win98+ windows all in one: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2741044/Windows-USB-to-Lan/Setup.zip It can be installed and analyzed without device itself. I would buy other those here recommended are for US market and shipping price from Ebay sellers is usually around 25 bucks and i would take another month.

USB Audio is working - with this cheap adapter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/182262415490?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I had no luck with LAN - i bought this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281937228180?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT On cd - is some insllator, something is installed, but device is not recognized its still unknow USB device - device name should be RD9700, but i dont know device vendor name, or where INF files are.. i tried to search for Win98 driver for this device, but without success.

Not my case its ASUS Q170T board.

Hello, i migrated Windows 7 from other machine to new machine, problem is that new machine is USB3 only, no PS2 at all, so after boot i cant controller a machine. I have on same machine other new fully working Windows 7 partition, when i injectem USB3 drivers during installation. I need inject USB3 drivers from other Windows 7 install or from some bootCD. I have tried Paragon HDD Professional P2P adjust, but Intel drivers are in format which Paragon cant inject. Is there any other P2P driver injection boot cd? I cant control mahine, throught network (Remote desktop), because there is not user password for admin or network driver missing too. Edit: Some silent installer of Intel USB3 or realtek NIC drivers inserted into Start up folder could be a solution, if something like this exists..

Can someone point me to last driver version? I have G7950 PCI-E and when i try to install drivers from exe, i have got lots of empty windows dialogs..

But there is some QEMU trick how to make VNC keyboard and mouse working, maybe some similator workaround could be used for make USB working as PS2 device inside virtualization.

rloew: Thanks. I maked USB working, but only in normal mod, in safe mode is not working and when machine crash, is needed to control safe mode throught VNC client- its stupid, but its nothing too annoying. I dont know, maybe its Win98 SE limitation that USB not working in same mode, problem is that as far i know, there is not QEMU PS2 device passthrough. So only Network and Audio is needed to make it fully working. I didnt test any benchmarks but its really fast with Core i5 2500S - 1 core and 256 MB RAM.

rloew: Could recommend some piece on eBay? I just can confirm that Unraid machine with my new arrived passivelly cooled Geforce 7950 PCI-E is booting in to normal mode! I now have not time, but i will continue with more testing. Question: Is there some Bios setting, which could do downgrade USB3 ports for USB2? To be fully supported by Win9x or this dead end? If this is somewhere working, it still could be MB dependent, i want to know if it is worth of try, i have Gigabyte Z68 chipset board and Z97 board is ready too, i only wanting on CPU which is on the way.. Problem is still not USB, outside of VNC mod.. In VNC mod i can boot to safe-mode and i can see that no USB controller there, what is probably why keyboard and mouse not working at all. I have tried New hardware detection in safe mode, but nothing was found, but i read about some trick to rename somae PnP Bios device to PCI-BUS and some new devices were detected - even some Network adapter and USB PCI controller - problem is that somewhere is process and lost - CD/DVD devices with Windows98 mount image, so i have not drivers for that to test it.

@rloew It is lost in history, probably i dont even know if have still this board, i need to check it.

Today i tested on my Z68 board PCI card options, but i had no luck with Creative Audigi and SB !Live and 3Com lan card, only PCI device which is detected is ATI Mach PCI video card, but when is added to machine is not booting, but i already have new Z97 board and wating for new CPU from Ebay, i will retest it. Im also looking for any other PCI videocard, some Nvidia or more modern ATI. Today i also ordered PCI-E Geforce 7950 so we will see.. I wonder is there any Win 9x compatible USB Lan or USB Audio card because this could be solution too? Regarding this site at least some USB Land exists: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/usbether.htm

I have very bad memory, its about 5 years. Im not sure, maybe it not even posted, no picture after boot at all.. or freeze during Win9x boot. Only thing im sure that it was Gigabyte card with passive cooler, probably with less that 512 MB.

I have using last version from website - 14 days trial, but it could be extended, because its tight only to unique email address. QEMU has also i thing 440BX chipset option, which is probably even more compatible. There is Unraid Win98 thread, not too much info, but atleast for someone its working, only with some startup sequence hassle.. https://forums.lime-technology.com/topic/43505-vm-help-windows-98se/

I had this board and i have failed to make Geforce 7600 PCI-E running with unfoccial drivers, there is some graphics compatibility list for this board and its pretty short.. Maybe other PCI-E GPU work, but you need to be lucky or i did something wrong.

I did some testing is possible to install Win98SE - with VNC display driver, i ended stuck at Keyboard and Mouse detection, after real GPU was used (i used integrated Intel HD2000, because i hadnt at the hand any Win98 compatible card and ATI Mach 64 VT wasnt working with Unraid) - so GPU passthrough working even for Win98. Keyboard / mouse problem probably can be solved with PS2 keyboard and mouse or 2 PS ports mainboard or more compatible USB devices - i dont have at home best set for compatbility i have some too modern and not good keyboard for compatibility (nothing like old Logitech, Chicony IBM keyboards). I tested all through some 1xPS2 to 2x USB convertor.

Hello, i just wonder if someone tried Unraid - QEMU virtual machine with GPU Passthrought, is working well for WinXP 32bit gaming with old Geforce 8400GS with Z68 board and Core i5 2500S - it would work with everything with IOMMU support (Intel VT-d). Unraid is primary for big custom Raids, but has Virtual machines plugin which is based on KVM, so PCI-E and PCIE and USB devices passthrough is possible and few VMs can runs in parallel.

Thanks, i have Geforce 6600 passive, but i have to install fan too - Noctua one - around 500 RPM its quite silent.

Thanks for replies. Could you link exact model, im suprised that there is passive version of card with 95W TDP. In unofficial driver for PCI-E cards really stable with Win98SE? I mean on similar level as AGP cards? What about installation could be OS installed with PCI-E GPU inside, or installation is possible only with PCI / AGP card and card need to be switched later? So if PCI-E GPU is working, 2 PCI slots are enough. I was thinking about 2 cards and necessity of change monitor outputs for boot different system - solution could be some DVI or cheap HDMI switch (even cheap ones have output autodetection and autoswitching) + DVI-HDMI cables.
