Making Win98 work on the internet (now USB)

m: I guess that may be implying that the old versions of nusb won't or can't handle as many devices as the new ones can, too. OR that the old versions were so limited in what they added that there were no potential conflicts. But I'm still not sure I'm getting it. I think you are, now. The earlier more limited forms may well not have been full enough to satisfy many needs. (Safe assumption, or why else develop further?) When any maker has to write an INF file, they have to do as little as possible, and assume that the context they're going into is complete and correct enough to support what they add. For NUSB that meant a conflict of interest, because it is a small generic driver support, in which case the usual maker's logic applies, or is it a whole new subsystem? In earlier versions they likely tried to stay with guidance a maker normally uses, but eventually they got to the point where if your OS is well-established and customised, it may be better to rip out all the INF files before adding NUSB. That would cause bother in non-USB stuff, especially stuff in Machine.inf and other core data sets. So they started advising th only thing they COULD advise: uninstall all USB hardware, and any pre-existing NUSB too. Like slipstreaming OS service packs to customised installs, NUSB is a thing best added cleanly at install time. |
