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.

Had some problems with WIn98 since we only had the first edition installed. And such things moves very slowly in school. So I finally got around to do a fresh WIn98SE SLO install. Will tell u the results on friday. Wish us luck!!
And tanx again for SLO edition. Which town are U from?

[The_Frag_Man]

When is the next version due??

[jimmsta]

I'm also interesting in whether there will be a new version anytime soon, as I'm prepping the Windows 98 Power Pack compilation yet again, and I want to get all the latest, stable apps integrated into it.

[Petr]

I've noticed that in 2.21 are the following lines for Mitsumi:

%VID_03EE&PID_0000.DD%=USBSTOR_CBI, USB\VID_03EE&PID_0000
%VID_03EE&PID_6901.DD%=USBSTOR_CBI, USB\VID_03EE&PID_6901
;%VID_03EE&PID_6902.DD%=USBSTOR_CBI, USB\VID_03EE&PID_6902

As I already reported here, the driver does not work with Mitsumi Floopy drive with VID_03EE&PID_6901 so I suppose it should be commented out too.

Strange thing is that with Windows ME it works perfectly without any driver, and wit Windows 98 SE without nusb and with Mitsumi supplied driver too. I have no idea what is wrong with nusb driver.

Great Problem here.

I am happy with the Maximum-Decim Native USB driver for a period of time. However, when I decide to add one more external USB disk (I already have an identical one), the system just cannot recognize the new disk. Only if I eject the existing drive, the new drive probe up.

Are there any methods that can make them co-exist?

thanks

[randiroo76073]

You can add Maxtor PL series to the list of drives that work with NUSB, I tried to get my Sandisk Cruzer to work too, but no joy there, have to use Sandisk drivers

[maximus-decim]

I work above the following version of the NUSB (2.3?). New devices will be added many. The file usbstor.inf will be divided into some files (usbstor1.inf, usbstor2.inf, etc) that it was possible to add easily the new device independently. But I very much do not have time, therefore the new version will be not fast.

@Petr

Recently, a friend just bought IBM usb fdd which was made by Teac and hoping
it really IBM.
However, Win XP (no driver needed) & 98SE (using the supplied drivers)
recognized it as Mitsumi usb fdd.

Attached is usb-fdd.zip (MTMFDVSD.INF + MTMUSBFD.INF) of IBM usb fdd which
might interest u, especially MTMFDVSD.INF refers to "Port Driver".
Those 2 files might be identical to ur Mitsumi usb fdd or pls pm for complete
supplied drivers.

HTH.

Attached File(s)

hello, this universal driver should work in a win98SE spanish version?

If don't, there are any possibility to modify it for work? Is difficult? if necessary, I can spend some time trying to port it to spanish version....

Hi, the English version should work but many system messages would change from Spanish to English. There are some files that should be modified for spanish version.

Hardware.hlp - available in Q242975 update
Hotplug.dll 4.10.2224 - available in Q242975 update
Systray.exe 4.10.2224 - available in Q242975 update
QFECheck.exe - available in Q242975 update
QFECheck.hlp - available in Q242975 update
Ios.vxd 4.10.2225 - you have to ask Microsoft for Spanish version of Q239696 hotfix
User.exe 4.10.2231 - you have to ask Microsoft for Spanish version of Q291362 hotfix
!readme.txt - has to be translated by you
_nusb.inf and maybe other infs - has to be translated by you if you need

Q242975 update can be downloaded here:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/win.../242975SPA8.EXE

For building the installation package you will need the iexpress utility, it is part of the IEAK - can be downloaded here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie6...XP/ES/ieak6.exe

Iexpress utility uses SED (Self Extraction Directive) files that describe how the package should be build. It can build new SED files or it can use already prepared file. I have prepared an example of such file for Spanish nusb here: http://www.winpack.org/nsp_petr/nusb221es.sed - it expects all files in nusb221es folder.
If you want just to build the package with no interactive options, you can use the following command line:
iexpress /N nusb221es.sed

You may also want to translate the "FriendlyName" in the .SED file.

I tried to localize Ios.vxd and user.exe by myself and build the package here:

http://www.winpack.org/nsp_petr/nusb221es.exe

It was not tested at all (I have no Spanish Windows 98 SE here) so please be careful and backup first!. It may not install or crash your system, I don't know!

If you will need more information about INF files and other related things, you can check te following website: http://www.winpack.org/petr/INF_web/ - the original disappeared so I just mirrored it from web archive.

I'm having an issue with these drivers... Whever I plug in a USB flash device, it shows up in device manager, but no drive letter gets assigned to the Disk Drive component... This also happens with the vendor's drivers. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Thanks,

mtp

It's too general question. What "USB Flash device"? What is the VID and PID? Is the VID and PID of your flash device listed in USBSTOR.INF? What "vedndor's drivers" do you use?

Before installing nUSB all other USB storage drivers should be removed (in Safe Mode) including their INF files from %windir%\INF folder and all USB flash devices should be removed from the system. The best way is to install nUSB on fresly installed Windows 98 SE.
Then you will install the nUSB driver and then you can plug in your USB flash device. There is no warranty that all devices will really work.

Mr The Plague
have U "lastdrive=..." string in your config.sys file?
have U "net use ..." command in any startup file (f.e. autoexec.bat or any logon script with drive mapping)?
is your PC used as a workstation in Novell Netware network?

Well, the drivers provided by the vendor for the respective devices. - concord Eye-Q 4363Z camera, Lexar Jumpdrive, and Jumpdrive Secure. The camera gets recognized as a GenericBulkOnly, and the jumpdrives get recognized as their names. They just don't get a drive letter assigned by Windows.

I cannot install this on a fresh 98se box; it's for my girlfriend and she'd freak if I had to reformat.

None of the above.

Thank you very much!!!!!!

at the moment, it seems to work well, if it don't give problems in the PC that I installed it, soon I will install it in the rest.

All of a sudden I've got ghost usb hdd drives, didn't show up right away, was a couple of days later. Does anyone know how to get rid of them? Doesn't affect performace, just annoying

[seskanda]

I hope i installed the latest version the file is nusb22es.exe. Anyways, after i installed nusb, it did NOT work with one of my USB flash disks. The disk is a Sony MicroVault USB 2.0 256 MB. Is it because Win98SE WON'T support USB 2.0, or what? Nusb worked with a Sandisk Cruzer Mini, but it ONLY works after i restart my computer. What gives? I thought USB is Plug'n' Play.
