Hi,

Note: I have a few Windows 98se computers.

Does anyone know where I can download a universal driver for different
brands of USB flash drives?

Thank You in Advance, John

PS, Remove "ine" from my email address


There are several available, from multi-function [such as the Maximus
Decum driver package] to modifications of device specific [such as
Wintricks' bulk storage driver].

Since you indicate *only* Flash/USB storage as your desired device, the
wintricks driver may better suit your purposes without a bulky download
and unnecessary installation of other generic driver modifications.
Though this seems to work with/for most, there is always the possibility
that you may need something else.

Which is in Italian{?} though looking at the included pictures should
show what is done. It is used like any other "point to the directory for
the driver" installation where you FIRST unzip the file to a
directory/folder then direct Windows to that folder.. The download is here.

You can see it is a modification of another manufacturer's generic
driver by looking at the INF installer.

WTGenUSB.INF:
Generic Drive USB Mass Storage Driver
Driver Installation for Windows 98/SE

If you need a more "full function" driver, then look at the Maximus
Decum driver package. Make sure you read/understand what MUST be
followed to use the driver package successfully.
