Driver for eStar Portable Drive
Does anyone know how or where to get a Win 98 USB driver for an eStar
Portable Hard Drive (120 GB, USB 2.0)? I'm trying to use the drive on my Toshiba laptop with Win98.

Driver for eStar Portable Drive
The issue isn't just the USB port, it's also the drive. Win98 (and
98SE) fully supports USB but it does not have it's own standard, built-in drivers for ANY mass storage devices. Plus, you will need a driver for the specific USB 2.0 port as well that works under the OS that you are using. While most USB 2 ports have drivers for 98SE, relatively few will have them for 98 (1st edition). So you need two drivers for 98 (or 98SE, as may be the case: -A driver for the USB port -A driver for the eStar portable hard drive In both cases, however, the issue may (likely does) come down to drivers for the chips used to implement two devices (the port and the hard drive). Depending on the chip, these may or may not be available. Kunal wrote: Does anyone know how or where to get a Win 98 USB driver for an eStar Portable Hard Drive (120 GB, USB 2.0)?

However USB2 drivers should be available on the Microsoft website or from the laptop manufacturer for the motherboard's chipset.

Also it's not the box that determines the drivers but the electronic inside.
