Could we implement this method into the official NUSB release?

Sure you can use it with the NUSB from Maximus-Decim.
BTW, NUSB is an UNOFFICIAL patch.

I know NSUB is unofficial as in not from Microsoft, but it also a great update, which is easy for noobs to install.

Maybe should make a similar patch using this method.

is it posible to change which drive letter that it uses when i plug something in.

Plug in your USB storage device, open “Device Manager”, expand “Disk drives”, click to select your “USB Flash Disk”, click “Properties”. Then click “Settings” tab, down below under the “Reserved drive letters” enter the driver letter you want, for example H: for the “Start drive letter” and “End drive letter”. Click “OK” to close the “Device Manager”, next time you plug in that device again, it will be drive H: (for this example).

USBSTOR.INF can be reduced to an even smaller size [15 KB], by deleting unnecessary spaces and quotes.

HTH

yay it works
great patch by the way

Its works for me too.

I just tryed my sister ipod mini
and it worked with this Maximum-Decim Native USB Drivers.
Thanks Man..

Maximus Decim Native USB ver.2.3
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only for Windows 98SE !!!

for each type) support USB flash drives, digital
photo and videocameras and other similar devices.

What's new?
1. Smaller file usbstor.inf
2. Bypassing "Unsafe Removal of Device" popup (thanks Wijono)
3. New hotplug icons (thanks Wijono) (include explorer.exe with 256-bit icons fix)

I think I'll be pulling the download for W9xPP, since there's been a bunch of various updates since release, and I had included 3 separate files for this single addon. (NUSB v2.21, NUSB Decorator, and mdgx's unofficial v2.22 patch).

Good work, Maximus-Decim! Thanks again!

I had v. 2.2 up to now and all devices did work for me, up to 1 GB.

Minor problem: for some of them confirming the driver is required,
few clicks, but found automatically, no private drivers.

This thing needs a better webhost: it is too small and to good for
rapidshare !!!

The program nusb23e still doesn’t work with my PQI 1 Gig memory stick, although it works with my other sticks.

The technical data for the memory stick is as follows

Device Descriptor:
bcdUSB: 0x0200
bDeviceClass: 0x00
bDeviceSubClass: 0x00
bDeviceProtocol: 0x00
bMaxPacketSize0: 0x40 (64)
idVendor: 0x3538
idProduct: 0x0042
bcdDevice: 0x0100
iManufacturer: 0x01
iProduct: 0x02
iSerialNumber: 0x03
bNumConfigurations: 0x01

The fact that the standard Windows ME/XP drivers work with this device would indicate that the Maximum-Decim USB driver can still be improved so that it will work with any USB memory stick and be truly universal.

Can I just run the latest NUSB if I've installed the earlier version and separately patched systray?

yes

I have put it on my site, you can download from here:

Hope this helps.

Hi.
Your drivers is for video cameras ?
But is it also for webcams (usb) ?
Like my Logitech QuickCam Express ?
And what about image controls of my webcam ?
Where are they ?
Thanks.

French version 2.3 is available on Gravure-Hebdo.

It is not a problem. The needed confirmation is the result of smaller USBSTOR.INF as I explained in my post below:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...id=526480&#

Thereby giving more space for the devices that may need it in the future.
Thanks Maximus-Decim who has implemented my idea above into his NUSB Version 2.3

Italian version 2.3 is available on Eng2ita.net in a specific section.

The German version can be found here:

I think it would be very useful to make language neutral package.

It should be no problem because all language dependent files are already contained in SESP 2.1a and therefore there is no need to have them in this package too.

The iexpress package should check if the right versions of these files are already installed and refuse to install if not.

Petr

Yeah, but it is better to leave current usb package, if I don't want SESP 2.1a for example.
This can be an alternative, as an option included in SESP 2.1a, after updates & tweaks.

Yes, I meant it as an alternative, not replacemnt of the current package.

Petr

Apple iPOD's and their software are incompatible with Win98/ME. ipods require Win2000/XP and USB 2.0 ports.



can your friend upgrade to Win98 2nd edition, Wijono?

BTW, it is very interesting that it was possible to install NUSB into his Win98 First Edition.

I have checked nusb20e.exe, nusb21e.exe, nusb22e.exe and nusb23e.exe and all have the following restriction:


It should not be possible to install the package on Windows 4.10.1998.

Many thanks for the INF update.

I have posted it at my site, here:

File [66 KB, iexpress installer = copies USBSTOR.INF to %windir%\INF]:
http://www.mdgx.com/spx/NUSB24.EXE

I'd like to ask a favor:
Could you please use the INF I posted at URL above [attached below] for all future NUSB updates?
This modified USBSTOR.INF is a little smaller, because I removed all unnecessary spaces.
I also modified this line to read [just like the original USBSTOR.INF from WinME setup CD]:

LayoutFile=LAYOUT.INF,LAYOUT1.INF,LAYOUT2.INF

Please take a look, and let me know if you want to make any other changes.
If you do make other changes, please post here the new INF, so I can upload it at my site.

Thanks in advance.

Best wishes.

Please update two italian exe (2.3&2.4 versions) allocated in the discussion of my forum.

Rapidshare is...well, I know of a forum where I could say exactly what I think of it. Let's just say a big pain in the seatware. I dread trying to download from there. Anything over a few hundred K might as well forget it

Hi,

The nusb23e.exe driver looks like just what I need to allow our Compaq Deskpro EN running Windows 98 SE to read the 128 MB flash drive in a pen (no manufacturer found - made in China) that I received as a gift. However, I can't get it to install on our computer.

Here is the system that I am working with:

Microsoft Windows 98 SE
Compaq Deskpro EN
Intel Celeron, 850 MHz
Motherboard: Intel Solano i815E
USB1 Controller: Intel 82801BA ICH2 ­ USB Controller 2 [B-1]

When I try to install the driver, I get one of the following messages. Is there anything I can do to successfully load the driver?

1) A required resource cannot be located.

2) The ¹¹ package is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running.

3) This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

Thank you very much,

Hello,

Great stuff on this forum, nice to see that some there's still some love por win98.

I was wondering if someone could re-upload the usb drivers in Spanish, I've had success using the English ones but I would really like to have them in my mother language.

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

I'd like just to know if I can Installed Maximus Decim Nativus USB ver 2.2 on my computer.

I had an "Unknow device" (yellow exclamation mark) on the USB controller in the Device Manager. I have only 1 USB 1 and I had a pcmcia Card driver USB2.2

Let me know if this driver only works for USB 2.0

Thanks for your help

You need driver for your USB 2.0 controller, NUSB project contains just mass storage driver, not USB controller driver.

Here is the list of known USB 2.0 Win 9x drivers: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&...st&p=517622

You can identify your USB controller using Everest:the important information is Devide ID and Subsystem ID.

Petr

Yeah ... the thing is great, all sticks up to 1 GB worked for me so far ... but:

There is a serious BUG resulting in data corruption.

Corruption occurs in following situations:

1 (always?): Defragmenting the stick and click "Abort" button. Data is corrupted. Aborting
Defrag on the HD does NOT suffer from this bug.
2 (?): Performing several write/erase/write operations while free space is low (<20%) or
even touches 0.

I played again with Mitsumi USB FDD and I found the solution of the blue screen problem - to use DISKTSD.VXD 4.90.3000 and the old DISKTSD.VXD (4.10.2223) to rename to DISKTSD1.VXD. But not 100%.

Just replacing 4.10.2223 by 4.90.3000 does not work, the system won't boot and in the bootlog appears:

After installing nusb, inserting the USB Floppy causes blues screen with error in DISKTSD.VXD.

After renaming old and copying new disktsd.vxd I was able to use the USB floppy with no problem.

BTW, in Windows Me everything works fine.

Then I tried to use 98SE2ME, at first the option installing just the USB drivers, second time option 2 - install everything.

In both cases plugging the USB floppy into the PC did not cause the blue screen, but in the device manager appeared yellow exclamation mark and the FDD did not work. The above described procedure with renaming and copying DISKTSD.VXD did not help.

I have shortly looked into the 4.90.3000 code and there are only very few differences in comparison to 4.10.2223 so it is possible that the 4.10.2223 version could be modified to work correctly - but I don't know how.

Has anybody successfully tested any USB Floppy with NUSB? Maybe the support should be completely removed and NUSB should not install its drivers for floppy USB, either in general, or at least for Mitsumi.

There is a driver supplied by Mitsumi, that could be added to NUSB. This driver contains (besides of INF files)
mtmvsd.vxd 3.16.00
mtmusbfd.sys 3.16.00
mtmfdvsd.pdr 3.16.00

Maybe ot could work for other FDDs too?

I will try some additional testing tomorrow.

Petr

What about removing explorer.exe or atleast adding the one from 98SE2ME its newer
and patched also i think you should add the Usbview.exe tool posted above it will come in handy
with this package.

Please help:

1. Will these drivers work on Dell GX 110?
2. Do i have to remove universal serial bus controller driver before installation?

Thanks in advance for any help.

What do you mean exactly?

nUSB is not USB Controller driver but USB Storage driver.

It is not dependent on your USB controller provided it is supported by your operating system (OHCI, OHCI Controller) or separate driver (EHCI controller).

So you should not remove your USB controller driver, but the USB Storage drivers (if any) should be uninstalled and removed from the system.

Petr

OK. Thanks for the reply.

Another question: Is it possible that my USB device (64 MB) will be detected and work without any drivers. I have never used USB drives before. Thanks in advance for any help.

You mean with NUSB not installed? No, this is not possible.

It will work on Windows Me, 2000, XP and Vista, but not on older OSes.

Petr

Wow, that was fast. Two questions answered within hours. Thanks.

also works for my DanElec 512Meg usb stick. I couldn't even find a proper driver for it on their site.
Thanks !

I need some help, using NUSB v2.2, when i try to install my Sony USB floppy drive i get a BSOD. It's a fatal exception 00 @ 0028:1837AE4 in VXD DiskTSD (03). My computer is a laptop and the BSOD happens when i insert the floppy drive in the modular bay or when i connect it to a USB port. And, i believe the drive is USB 2.0, is there any way to get USB 2.0 to work in 98SE, by the way?

thanks.

for usb 2.0 you need to know what motherboard you have and what chipset it uses
