Try one of the tools designed to query USB hubs and devices such as the
USBView which came with 98SE in the tools\reskit\diagnose folder on the
installation CDROM. It might be available on disk in the Options folder but
I doubt it.
A better alternative [due to the lack of documentation available for your
system] is one of the hardware diagnostic utilities such as Aida32, MiTeC
MSI [nice tool, does not require installation], SiSoft Sandra {Pro}
[excellent tool], Everest Home Edition, and a number of other diagnostic
tools which can provide in-depth information on chipsets, BIOS, devices,
etc.. With one of these tools you will have a better understanding of all
aspects of the computer and what it can support.
Another tool you have installed will query the system for its present
configuration. Its not generally documented or used, but everyone has it.
Its called hwinfo and is used in the run box with the commandline hwinfo
/ui . Its a good way to find out what has been found/installed, drivers,
etc..

Look around if you want something else or other tools, like he

| | My son was just given a Mp3 player which needs to have a Windows
| | 98 USB driver installed. The problem is that Windows doesn't
| | detect the driver on the install CD when running the Add Hardware
| | wizard.
| |
| | What happens is that the driver setup program is installed,
| | Windows builds a new driver information database, detects that it
| | has found the Sunplus Multidisk disk and will search for a driver
| | for it, but doesn't find one.
| |
| | I've tried the "Search for the best driver for your device"
| | option, the "Display a list of all drivers" option, "Have Disk"
| | and that all didn't work. Craig doesn't have a website so there
| | are no FAQs. The player won't work with Windows if the driver
| | isn't installed.
| |
| | I guess to generalize the question, how does one install a USB
| | driver from a CD when Windows won't detect it?
