A very handy tweak indeed, yes many thanks for your efforts Maximus..
It didn't work 1st go though, but I worked it out in the end...
1st it wouldn't detect a thing so I browsed through this entire thread
& installed all add-ons I thought might help, & in the end I have 2
98se machines seeing all my different brands of flash drives..
1st, I installed the nusb22e.exe from the 1st post & not much
happened at all after a reboot, except that the machine now
has the dreaded shutdown problem { wont shutdown }
then I installed the updated usbstor.inf into the Windows\Inf
folder, but still no-go.
Then I installed the drivers for one of my flash-drives &
then it would detect, but now all other brands detect as well,
plus the icon for disconnecting the devices also shows next to
the volume icon, bottom right..
I'm wondering if installing the drivers for one of my flash drives
somehow made a registry change that kept it working & detecting
every other drive from there on in using your drivers..
The only problem was the shutdown didn't work, until I installed
3 files from MS
1: 239887up.exe = shutdown supp # 1
2: 4756US8.EXE = shutdown supp # 2
3: 240075up.exe = usb controller update, which according to MS, is for
a system running via chipset with K6 cpu, well one system had a K6cpu, but
had an ALI chipset, yet this update was also needed for that system to
shutdown every time without locking up too.
Some pics to show it working below...
