Hi,

for using a USB Memorystick with W98se, there is a driver patch on the internet. (Google)

You have to know the VID and PID of the memorystick , edit the inf file of a driver (e.g. Samsung) accordingly and it works.

You have to do this for every different type of memorystick again.

So far so good.

Unfortunately I am no software geek, but it should be possible to automate the process: Read out the VID and PID of the registry then create a appropriate inf file.

Or, if somewhere is a table with known VIDs and PIDs of memorysticks, why do not create a universal inf file which may contain all of the VIDs/PIDs and installs them automatically if needed?

Are these what you're looking for?

Yes, this looks well.

But unfortunately this is also only a collection of some known IDs up to a certain date, so newer USB devices won't install.

I still have to use USBVIEW.EXE get VID and PID and put them manually into the inf.

Maybe I'm to ambitious searching for a solution like W2k/XP already have.
