niknak Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 (edited) BenoitRenThere are already generic drivers for Win 95 OSR2xSee this link http://toastytech.com/files/cruzerwin95.htmlYou will need to know the PID & VID details of the device you wish to connect, to check if the device has been included & to modify the inf file if they havn't. I used an XP system for that (system manager, click on USB devices to expand them, right click your new device, properties, detail tab. I did a cut and paste to notepad so I knew I had all the detail and it was transferable to w95)I saved my modified files to a floppy which I used as the driver disk, and now I can use various flash drives from 512MB to 8GB with no problems on a Win 95 OSR2 machine which has been updated with all the fixes on MDGx site. This machine is stable and has not let me down in the last 6 years this mod was added 6 months ago. Edited November 25, 2007 by niknak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softstag Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I wonder how long do I have to wait until this version makes it to http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/kb/usbmsd98.php, considering you know very well I can't download anything from rapidsh!t. Sorry for the delay, I've been away. This is now uploaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenoitRen Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 BenoitRenThere are already generic drivers for Win 95 OSR2xSee this link http://toastytech.com/files/cruzerwin95.htmlThat's what I already use. Works great for flash sticks, but it doesn't seem to work for USB hard drives. Well, at least not correctly; it installs a USB Mass Storage Port, but the drive doesn't appear.Thanks for the thought, though, and for the info on how to modify it for unrecognised flash sticks. Might come in handy in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niknak Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) BenoitRenMy USB 500GB HDD is not seen in W95 in fact it won't see a 40GB, I think it is due to 32GB size limit imposed in Win 95.I use a GWC - USB to IDE converter with the above driver (http://www.gwctech.com/ebproductdetail.asp?id=20) This allows me to use a 30GB HD as a mass storage device with no problems . This is an improvement on my 8GB HD bios limit .The supplied GWC drivers allow a 120GB drive to be seen in W98SE on my version which is now 3 years old, I have yet to try the new drivers that are available to see if that has been improved. This is unlikely, as an unmodified W2000 is limited to 137GB but if the reg is patched it will happily see the larger harddrives with the converter without the installation of additional drivers. (My Win98SE does not like NUSB drivers by MD)Anyone got a 750GB HD driver for windows 95???? Edited November 27, 2007 by niknak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galahs Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I have used a 320GB, single partition, FAT32, USB2 Hard Disk on a Windows 98SE system using just the NUSB update (didn't have the Enable48BitLBA update installed)Worked without a hitch and I tested it beyond the 137GB barrier.The disk (seagate ide 16MB buffer) came with NTFS pre-installed on it, so I had to use a neat program "swissknife 3.22" http://www.compuapps.com/download/Swissknife/swissknife.htm to create a large single FAT32 formatted partition.I actually used the program on a WinXp box, but the program says it works in Win 95b/98/me/2000/XP/NT 4.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenoitRen Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 32GB size limit imposed in Win 95What? That's WinXP's limit for FAT32. Anyway, USB HDDs don't use the same driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galahs Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Just to clarify, WinXp supports FAT32 hard disks bigger than 32GB... it just doesn't let you create (or format) them from within WinXP or from its bootcd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 SP1, SP1a and SP2 DOES allow that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD's files can't be used there.Thanks Galahs for your information (I will try a fresh W98SE install this weekend and see if I can get it to work) and the link to swissknife - I had not heard off it.
