USB 2.0 Ports in New AMD Athlon 64 mobile 3200 Via Chipset

I am having a problem installing the Via usb driver in Win
98.

1st I use win98 as base partition with System commander.
Then XP and then Linux testing.

USB 2.0 drive loads says it install correctly in sytems
Device manager, but operates at usb 1.0 rate. Slower than
1.1 rate with out the drive installed.

If I uninstall the drive it works good again at 1.1.. Is
this a problem because of the obsolesence of win98?

System Commander has diddly squat to do with it.

You need to check system requirements for the motherboard and its drivers
for USB 2.0 to work with plain jane 98.

No kidding.? on System commander. I just stated I use it
to swithc operating system Win98SE. not plan jane

The via drivers are for the chipset but Win98SE will not
recognize and goes in to slow usb mode.

No Kidding? It is for switching operating systems at boot
time.

No.1 it is not plan jane but win98se.
I do have the specs. the via drivers just do not work.

I asked what is causing this or is it because win98SE is
obsolete.

You never indicated SE. Read your post again. SE does not support USB 2.0
natively either. Its a driver the motherboard maker or add-on card maker
should provide.
Only MS OS that does support USB 2.0 natively is XP SP1, but not all USB 2.0
is supported.

There are two sets of drivers. One for USB, one for USB 2.0 When installed
properly, USB 2.0 will be noted as EHCI or enhanced host controller.

Motherboard drivers may or may not be associated with USB 2.0 installation
on your install CD. Usually USB 2.0 driver would fall under a separate
folder on the CD.

System Commander, and any other OS have nothing to do with your problem.

As Dave has said, you must have USB 2.0 drivers installed for Win98SE. However, if
the USB 2.0 ports are on an add-on PCI card rather than on the motherboard, you must
install drivers from the PCI card's disc. Are your USB 2.0 posts on the motherboard
or on an add-on card?

Have you installed USB 2.0 drivers for the USB 2.0 device? The disc that came with
the particular USB 2.0 device should have Win98SE drivers also, if the manufacturer
of the device included support for Win98SE.
