Windows 98 usb hard drive driver#

I may try a dongle to see if I can connect to my home network. Please excuse my ignorance in these matters, any suggestions would be welcome. I do not know if this is practical with the Windows 98 FE. I was also wondering if there was a device that would enable me to use a slot to use an adapter to use a USB for mass storage. I have not looked inside to see if there are any available slots left on the motherboard, I think there are free slots. The unit I have has a SSD that was partitioned and installed as a replacement for the old small HD. The machine is built upon one of several old motherboards, I do not know right now which motherboard I have. 2.88 MB floppy formats are not supported.' I do not think that the OS will support USB mass storage anywhere, but I thought I would ask. All drives can read and write 1.44 MB and 720 KiB MFM floppies, as used on PCs, Apple Macintoshes (High Density format only, see below), and many workstations.

Here is a quote: 'SuperDisk drives have been sold in parallel port, USB, ATAPI and SCSI variants. There are various drives associated with the LS 120. I suppose I could but it works and writes to 1.4 floppy which is enough for file transfer at present.

I really do not know if I can replace the disc drive. I believe there is third party NTFS support, but back in the day the only free NTFS support I could find was buggy as heck. Don't even consider it unless you have a tested exact clone of the hard drive! * There are various patches for Win98SE that extend its drive and volume size limits, but you are still stuck with it only understanding FAT16 and FAT32 filesystems. conflicts between system files patched in the USB updates and ones patched by the OEM to support their scope UI. Most of the stuff you need can be found on or linked from However as you are considering upgrading/patching the OS on an oscilloscope there may be some further issues e.g. You *may* need to delete the USB controller(s) from device manager then scan for hardware changes to force redetection if you've messed around with other USB drivers.

Then simply install the Maximus Decim Native USB drivers (3rd party user developed USB drivers for Win98SE) for full mass storage support, subject to Win98SE's volume size and filesystem limitations *.

You also need Windows to have a valid driver installed for the USB controller(s) - if they are too new a chipset that may be problematic. For any PC running Win98, you *NEED* to be running Windows 98 Second Edition as USB support in the original release was minimal.
