maximus-decim, do you plan to update the original 2.2 installer with this new INF?

it would be great and easier to deploy if an updated installer is available.

Yet will not be, later. The structure of the usbstor.inf for reduction of its size will be changed. New devices will be still added.

Thanks to Maximus.

Works great ! (The USB patch included in SP 1.6.2. was poor)

Does it support USB 2 also ? (I can't test it becasue of lack of HW)

Yes

I managed to get the patch working without adding any of the registry entries that are normally added by the installer, into a ghost image of Win98SE. Now, it's a whole lot easier getting Win98SE systems up and running, with the mortified ghost image... erm, modified.

A fix for hotplug icon missing from system tray:

After installing the USB update, my USB flash drive was recognized, but no hotplug icon appeared in the system tray.

In the registry branch
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CV\Applets\SysTray

HotPlugFlags = 0x00000002
Services = 0x0000000d

The fix was to edit the Services key to 0x0000000f.

It looks like the bits in the Services value specify which icons appear in the system tray.

0x0000000d = binary 1101
0x0000000f = binary 1111

The 2nd last bit probably controls the hotplug icon.

Clicking the hotplug icon activates Hotplug.dll

Maximus - perhaps the Services value could be set up accordingly in the nusb installation script.

I help in the school of handicaped teenagers and would like to istall your USB PATCH on school computers since lots of students carry their seminars on USB drives. The computers are still running Win98 since the school won't allow budget for new compos.
But the problem is that they are all running Win98 SE SLOVENIAN EDITION. What would happen if I installed your USB patch which is only for ENGLISH version of windows?

Tanx in advance

Hello!

After installing Maximus Decim Native USB ver.2.2 german on a computer with an Albatron KX600 mainboard the connection to USB 2 devices is interrupted every few seconds. Connection to USB 1 devices is fine. The mainboard has a VIA KT600 chipset. How to solve the problem?

How to deinstall Maximus Decim Native USB? I could'nt find.

Hi everyone,
Just joined the forum and found this wonderful proggie. Thanks Maximus!

1) Hotplug Icon Missing
---------------------------
The Hotplug icon did not appear on my system tray
even after trying iscove's suggestion to edit the registry key in
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CV\Applets\SysTray

Services = 0x0000000d

I discovered that, for some reason, the volume icon has to be turned on
in order for the hotplug icon to appear on the system tray.
The last bit turns on the power icon, the second last the hotplug icon,
the 3rd last the volume icon, so just set the 2nd and 3rd last bit of the
Services key to 1 and it'll be fine,
i.e. set the key as any one of the following:

Services = 0x0000000e
or
Services = 0x0000000f

The first will turn on both the volume and the hotplug icon
and the second the power, volume and hotplug icon.

Alternatively, simply go to Control Panel, Multimedia and
check "Show volume control on the taskbar".

Reboot and plug in a USB mass storage device and viola! The hotplug icon appears.

2) Sony PlayStation Portable
---------------------------------
I edited my USBSTOR.INF file as follows and Win98 recognizes my PSP! :)

[Microsoft]
;Sony
%VID_054C&PID_01C8.DD%=USBSTOR_BULK,USB\VID_054C&PID_01C8

[Strings]
;Sony
VID_054C&PID_01C8.DD="Sony PSP"

Try it out. It should work unless there are different PIDs for different PSP models.

Hi!

Just a question. Why does the package susbstitute user.exe. My Windows version is not English so I don't want the user.exe included in the pack. May I change it to the original version after installing the package?

Cheers.

Is there an all-in version 2.3 on the horizon by any chance?

[eGo®Z]

Is there an all-in version 2.3 on the horizon by any chance?

of course,
but the best way to make it is to publish here links to infs and drivers missed in 2.2 - it's so hard to browse web everyday for the newones
Also we have one limitation - USBSTOR.INF is about 50KB in size now - 64K max

There are lots of "DeviceDesc"s on the "Strings" section. You can combine most of them.
