Hi there...

Me was wondering if is there such a thing for Windows 98 or 98SE?

argh....come on!

As far as I know, such a thing doesn't exist. There's simply too much variation in hardware implementation strategies to create a unified driver for all of them.

yeah, but the xp has the support for all of them

there must be some combination of a few drivers at least

It think it exists and I remember I used it before...

I'll try to find it at my comp at home...

waaah. Everyone thinks XP so cool. Not let me say, it uses same driver as Win98

As long as i remember, all USB softwares worked on my Windows.

yeah but is has one installed

my win98 accepts the driver, but then asks for win98 cd, and then complains it can't find, i believe 'usbstor.sys' on it's own CD... wierd

These links have some relevant info on USB mass storage drivers (the generic driver in use under windows 2000 and XP)

For certain USB-defined classes of devices, Microsoft provides a class driver that serves as a client driver for all devices in that class. The operating system automatically supports devices in these classes, with no additional driver required.

Microsoft provides class drivers for the following classes of USB devices. Hardware vendors should not write drivers for these device classes:

•

Hub Device Class

Microsoft provides the Hubclass.sys driver for managing USB hubs.

•

Human Interface Device (HID) Class

Microsoft provides the Hidclass.sys driver for managing HID-compliant input devices.

•

Audio Class

Microsoft provides audio class support by means of the Sysaudio.sys driver.

•

Mass Storage Class

Microsoft provides the Usbstor.sys port driver that makes it possible to manage USB mass storage devices with Microsoft's native storage class drivers.

•

Printer Class

Microsoft provides the Usbprint.sys class driver that manages USB printers.

•

Communications Device Class

Microsoft implements the USB Communication Device Class Abstract Control Model by means of the Remote NDIS facility in all Windows platforms containing full-featured USB support. This facility centers the management of all 802-style network cards in a single class driver, Mdismp.sys. Mapping of remote NDIS to USB is implemented in the usb8023.sys driver.

•

Content Security Class

Microsoft does not currently supply a single class driver that implements content security. However, some content security functionality is implemented within the composite client generic parent driver.

Under Windows XP, vendors supplying their own USB client driver should make that driver a member of the USB setup class in the INF Version Section of the driver's INF file. For example:

[version]

Signature="$WINDOWS NT$"

Class=USB

ClassGuid={36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}

There are no other special requirements associated with installing USB client drivers.

You said it cant find Win 98 CD-

Insert CD, and just press different letter for example D:\win98 or E:\win98 .

By the way, all hardware that has to have USB connection, must have USB driver on their CD's.

i said it can't find it ON the win98 cd...

i'm not that stupid...

when installing the driver provided, windows asks for win98 cd...

well i just installed a usb flash key driver to my mom's old laptop which has win98se, the usb flash key comes with a driver cd and the driver's in there. after i've installed it it worked awesome.

so what's the brand of your usb flash key? try searching for a driver for it.

afaik win98 don't have a driver for it..
