Default In which folder are the USB drivers stored in 98se?

I haven't used NUSB, but it sounds complex and problematic. I've
personally had good results with JDUSB in Win98SE (assuming USB 1.1
and 2.0). The whole driver set consists of these three files:

JDUSBMS INF 1,403 01-04-05 11:56p JDUSBMS.INF
JDUSBMS SYS 10,176 02-10-03 1:53p JDUSBMS.SYS
JDUSBPD PDR 9,125 02-10-03 1:51p JDUSBPD.PDR


Those files are from a Lexar USB driver set known as the
"Lexar/WinTricks" package where the .inf file was modified to cause most
mass storage devices to be added as "bulk" or generic, and it also
effectively bypasses any 3rd party software from being required to
operate the device. BULK is like a giant floppy drive, it requires no
3rd party access software.


Thanks for that explanation. (Does it/do they work without requiring the
removal of any other USB drivers?)

Why couldn't that have been done from the start (-:

The original package can be found he

http://www.wintricks.it/download/wtgenusb.zip

Contains these files:

Jdusbpd.pdr .... Windows\System\IoSubSys
Jdusbms.sys .... Windows\System32\Drivers
Wtgenusb.inf ... Windows\Inf (aka Jdusbms.inf)

I've also found it at an alternate location:

https://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~ygu...%20Storage.zip

The .inf file in that one is different, maybe there might be some
benefit to combine it with the first one to improve it? I scanned the


Thanks for those locations. I see the .pdf and .sys ones in the two are
the same (or at least have the same CRC). [I did have a look at the .inf
files, thinking I might be able to combine them - they're only a few
tens of lines each - but they're somewhat beyond my knowledge of .inf
files.]

.sys and .pdr files from the .de location on virustotal, and they both
come up as harmless.


And thanks for doing that, in view of what I found earlier.

If you go up one directory to this:

https://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~ygu/hs/

There's a lot of win-9x and DOS software there.


I was going to say make the most of it, as ~ directories at academic
sites (tu- is technical university), but that one is footed "Henrik

so looks as if it might survive a while - though you never know. Agreed,
lots of good-looking stuff.
