USB and W98se
I posted this in plug & play, but no response, so trying in this folder.
Sorry for double posting! I have purchased an NEC USB UF000x from Dell for my old laptop to replace my parallel floppy drive that is not working. I had W95 running on the laptop and was told to upgrade to W98se so that the USB would be properly recognized. I upgrqaded to W98se, but the system is still requesting that a driver be installed for the new hardware - this is a USB floppy and supposedly there should be no driver required - and of course, I can't find one on the W98 disk or on MS or Dell websites. So....the usb floppy drive is not recognized. I also have an older Dell Dimension R400 that was running W95 - I upgraded this machine to W98se as well, and tried the USB floppy plug in........same problem - looking for a driver. Please anyone help? I need a floppy drive on the laptop and am frustratingly without one!! |

Heh, heh, I didn't even call you stupid under my breath. I'm not in this to denigrate anyone. I like to help people. [One of my pet peeves is the tendency of many far too many people to use Usenet as a vehicle for insults and inexcusable behaviour]. I don't know why you didn't get a hit on Yahoo - maybe you included a word that prevented a hit? Anyway, you can use my search term on Yahoo also. [I normally include Yahoo when recommending a search.] Good luck with the floppy. USB can be !!!*very*!!! frustrating. |

There's a thing called the unofficial service pack for win98se that fixes a bunch of nagging usb problems especially with usb2.0. I had mixed usb results until I installed this update collection.

Well, judging by the info available on that site, *I* certainly wouldn't
install it. Pretty shaky looking. Lots of claims, little detail. A lot of cobbled-together stuff that the author has decided are important. I'd rather decide for myself. -- Gary S.

I neither recommend it nor warn against it. Just wanted to correct a factual
error in the other message and provide a link for anyone interested. "Gary S. Terhune" wrote in message ... Well, judging by the info available on that site, *I* certainly wouldn't install it.
