Czech build Maxim Decimus NUSB v. 3.2 (only for czech version Windows 98 SE)
http://www.winpack.org/download.php?soubor=26

thx Maxim Decimus!

Hmmm .....

Thank you dencorso for your hints but I figured that one out earlier while doing some reading up and digging around for clues ...

I am pleased to report that the native ms usbhub20.sys driver is now working with windows 98 FE .....

I was snooping into via usb2.0 hub driver headers and after comparing with ms usb2.0 hub driver, I concluded that they're were both from the same base reference material (plus minus bug fixes etc etc). My guess was confirmed later on when I verified that all function calls are the same except WMI calls ... so that's where the difference is and its enough to break it ...

I'm planning to update nusb for windows 98 FE soon ..... the planned changes will be :

1. Using UMSS.SYS compiled from MS sample reference driver. I concluded that usbstor.sys will not work on W98FE due to different function calls to ntoskrnl (available only from W98SE upwards). The working replacement was found at http://sweetlow.at.tut.by/download/umss.zip

2. Minor changes to get MS usbhub20.sys loaded correctly on win98 FE ...

3. Updated explorer.exe to match nusb3.2

4. Updated DISKTSD.VXD (4.90.3000) for possible usb fdd support ?

5. Generic W98FE driver support for usb fdd. There's many drivers flying around but I believe there's a generic version that will work on nec and mitsumi drives. This is still unverified as I'm waiting to get my hands on a usb fdd to tryout.

6. Please comment if I should include the ATI usb2 fix (to match nusb3.2) ...


I'll be putting the update on hold until I can verify usb fdd can properly work ...

Maximus, you rock man! And lots of thanks to Dencorso too!
(by the way, nice idea the little flag Philco. I might just do the same some day...)

Way to go, PassingBy!

regarding your questions:
4 and 5. The patched DISKTSD.VXD (4.90.3000) ought to work OK in Win 98FE. I think no other driver will be required, besides the NUSB files and DISKTSD.VXD. If not, consider, as the first step, adding CDVSD.VXD 4.90.0.3003, previously patched by the same method to change version. I know it works OK in Win 98SE. I'm using both right now.

6. I think so, yes.

Keep on the great work!

Where do I find these two files? I want to find the Danish version of the files.
advpack.dll 4.72.3612.1700
explorer.exe 4.72.3612.1700

You'll find them in the .CABs inside the Danish version of MSIE401SP2.EXE, possibly also inside older versions of Internet Explorer 4.
advpack.dll 4.72.3612.1700 is inside ACTSETUP.CAB
explorer.exe 4.72.3612.1700 is inside IE4SHL95.CAB or, if you want the NT version, inside IE4SHLNT.CAB
BTW, you'll also find the same version of explorer.exe in all versions of Internet Explorer 5, up to IE55SP2.EXE,
but, then, the version of advpack.dll to be found will be higher than the one you asked.

Could someone repost the English package to a decent host that I can actually download from? I've had enough posting and reposting that that stupid RapidShare has something that always tells me I'm already downloading from my IP although I'm NOT.
Thank you.

Nevermind, I had a friend download it for me. Thanks anyway.

(later edit) Thank you for the link below.

All versions are available at http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/kb/usbmsd98.php

I love this patch!

My portable 320GB USB2 hard disk was detected without a hitch


For those interested, I had to use the freeware SwissKnife 3.22 to format the drive from NTFS (how it arrived) to a single FAT32 partition.
http://www.download.com/CompuApps-SwissKni...8-10070864.html

Not sure if I could have done that under Win98. I did it under WinXP.
Note: WinXp's built in Format facility will not allow FAT32 partitions bigger than 32GB.

Hi, maximus-decim!
While poring over an .INF provided by Mitsumi for their USB FDD, I believe I found another brand of USB FDD that is not yet included in NUSB: the "EKE USB Floppy", which has VID_049f&PID_0054. The .INF file in question is attached for you to check whether I'm right or not, since you're much more knowledgeable about .INFs than myself. NUSB rules! Keep on the great work!

I wonder how long do I have to wait until this version makes it to http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/kb/usbmsd98.php, considering you know very well I can't download anything from rapidsh!t.

Hmm .....

I never upload to rapidshare ...

Please check which version of W98 you are using ...

Nusb32e W98SE is offered by Maximus Decim (and is available for download thru his preferred site) ...

Nusb32 W98FE went thru extra compatiblity and stability testing to help ensure its fitness for its purpose ... thus was only released a day or two ago ...

I believe it won't be long before both will be picked up by technical-assistance site ...

Grazie tanto, Max! This one was a killer regarding adverts, but at least I could download the file.
