The modem PC Card was NOT a problem (detection, etc)
I indicated the Megahertz PC card modem works AOK so
you know that the PC card slot is NOT defective.

My MAIN OBJECTIVE is for Win98 to detect a PC card
adapter with a USB port because I have the Win98
driver for that adapter, but Win98 MUST detect New
Hardware before I can install the adapter driver.
That is in the adapter's instructions.

Again, Thank You for your help, John

You mean, like the maximus decim driver.

nusb31e__maximus_decim_win98.exe 759,296 bytes

From the readme in there.

"Maximus Decim Native USB ver.3.1

Only for Windows 98SE English !!!

*Native (without installation of additional drivers
for each type) support USB flash drives, digital
photo and videocameras and other similar devices.
*Universal Stack USB 2.0 (without installation
of additional drivers for each chipsets) with uninstall.

1.Remove ALL drivers USB flash drives.
2.Remove ALL drivers USB 2.0 controllers.
3.Remove ALL unknown devices.
4.Install NUSB 3.1 and reboot.
5.After detection new USB 2.0 controllers
(if it will occur) too it is necessary to be reboot.

Remember! You install it at own risk!

Hi Paul,

I downloaded "nusb31e.exe" and will give it a try.

Since the external floppy drive is defective, I use
"PC Link" (like LapLink) to transfer "stuff" to this small Toshiba laptop.

Having a working USB adapter would be AWESOME.

Again Thanks John
