Hi,

As I understand it, to enable a USB port in Windows 95, it has to be Windows 95 OSR2.x and the port must be enabled in BIOS. Is there a minimum driver version that is also needed?

Thanks in advance!

Good luck, but don't hold out much hope for this to work! I hate to give bad news, but here's the scoop....

OSR2 technically supports USB, however, almost no support is out there device wise. As a result, I have yet to see a USB device actually work under windows 95. ----------------------------------------

Ditto what mudskipper said. Also, you have to have Win98SE or later to get support for USB 2.0.
