USB to IDE cabel adapters

[TomPaul]

I have a Win98SE w/500mCPU, 250mRam, 40GHD at 25%full.

I've installed 2 USB to IDE cases containing Hard drives - They work OK.

I purchased 2 - USB to IDE cable adapters, (both from China but different manufactures), neither one will be recognized by 98SE but both work on a frends XP. It seems to the drivers? XP doesn't need any.

Does anyone know of a driver that has worked on a 98SE machine?

Where can I get one? Thanks

Tom

WinXP and Win2k usually have built-in drivers. Win98 will need drivers, they should be included on the CD that came with the adapter.

yes...you can either check the Manufactures site of the Harddrive...or the Adapter..or have a look here for genertic enclosure usb driver.

or search goggle with 'usb to ide drivers' or 'usb drivers for win 98'

Usually win98 drivers are "customized" on the device.

Please post the EXACT make/brand whatever information you have on the manufacturer and/or WHERE you bought it.

Or you can try "randomly" these:
