Ninho Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Still reinstalling+tweaking Win 98 SE on an older system. This has USB 1.x only, NOT USB 2, controllers (SiS 5595B chipset)Thinking of installing Maximus Decim's NUSB. Therefore before I let any USB storage device touch this computer, I will ask if this is the right road to go for getting universal support of USB mass storage devices (read : pocket flash drives, different brands), or is NUSB only for systems which have USB 2 ? If the latter, what is the proper thing to do instead ?Thank you !-- Ninho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noguru Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yes you can. No problem. Just make sure you install the right language-version. But there's a special topic for nusb:http://www.msfn.org/board/Maximum-Decim-Na...ers-t43605.htmlWhy not ask your question there? If you would have read through this topic you probably found the answer yourself.Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risk_reversal Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) I have a usb 1.1 mobo running NUSB v2.4 with no issues. I saw no need to install v3.x which adds drivers for USB 2.0 controllers (plus has a slightly more comprehensive .INF file which can just be copied over).v2.4 was the last version which had just the generic usb drivers. On my set up has detected Corsair 1Gb & 4Gb flash drives and 250Gb external HDD amongst others.Link to other NUSB versions belowhttp://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/kb/usbmsd98.phpGood Luck Edited July 25, 2008 by risk_reversal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninho Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Thank you guys ! Just installed the NUSB 2.4 and after reboot, connected a no-name "pocket disk" which triggered the new hardware wizzard, installation of the USBSTOR drivers and the pocket disk itself. Read/write is OK. I may have a complementary question, but I'll move it to the proper forum subsection as suggested by Noguru. See you there, I hope... :=)-- Ninho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risk_reversal Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) FYG, even on another mobo which is usb 2.0 enabled, I also installed NUSB v2.4. Reason being that I have a Via based board and the installed USB 2.0 controller drivers where working fine and I did not want to change that.Upshot is that the v2.4 NUSB driver also work fine on that board.....

NUSB, both 2 and 3 versions, are really fabulous.-- Ninho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
