That's it - you won't need anythingĮlse and your USB memory stick will work just fine. The path to the files Ntmap.sys and Ntmaphlp.pdr - these you willįind in your original Win98SE-CD or in your hard driveĬ:\windows\options directory. During the installation you will be asked
Original W2K (before SP1) driver Usbstor.sys Īnyone needing a driver for an USB memory stick, just try the I'm trying to implement this if i can find the right sys driver. %UMSS\DISK.DeviceDesc%=umsspdr.install,UMSS\USB_DISKĮven if the lexar umss.sys is very small 10k compared to smallest of 14k to 15k i 've got ,Īs you see you also have to use the. %GenericBulkOnly.DeviceDesc%=OEM01Dev.install ,USB\Class_08&SubClass_06&Prot_50 %GenericBulkOnly.DeviceDesc%=OEM01Dev.install,USB\Class_08&SubClass_05&Prot_50 %GenericBulkOnly.DeviceDesc%=OEM01Dev.install,USB\Class_08&SubClass_02&Prot_50 1 that is written for windows nt but as few people know works pretty well with w98se, in my case i also did the same experiment of changing the inf file on a driver from twinmos also using umss.sys version. The lexar driver is in fact a microsoft umss.sys driver version. Based on reports from several threads on this site,, this driver seems to work for all 98 systems, including memory sticks, photocards, etc. This tight little generic gem might be a something for MGx to know about (maybe he already does?), or for Soporific to include in his next package. (win98se with SP2.1a, on p3 on ASUS CUV4x mobo) My memory stick immediately shows up as a device under hard drives on Device Manager, and it is immediately available for use as a drive (without a reboot).
Open My Computer, properties, Device Manager, right-click properties on the Kingston DataTraveler memory stick, and install driver using WinTricks generic USB driver, WTGenUSB.inf from the zip. Windows will detect an unknown device, and put a yellow-? on the devices list. The installer will detect a previous install, and uninstall it, requiring a reboot.ĭuring reboot, plug the Kingston memory stick into a USB port.
Remove the Kingston drivers (that I couldn't get to work) by running the installer on top of itself. Unzip to a safe location because it has a remove.bat file you might want. Download link is on last page (6).ĭownload the generic driver - (Only 10K, and no registry installs - nice!). But - IT WORKS!!!įaq for driver is here (written in portugese I think - google translation of a cut and pate, spanish to english, returned garbage) Click through the pages for screenshot sequences of install & unistall. In the aftermath of rage and envy, I found this 10k generic USB driver for memory sticks, from WinTricks. I gave up on the bloated 1.2 and 5.4 meg Kingston drivers after 20+ reboots, of every combination and permutation I could think of.
I also tried the older version of the driver, and it produces the same results.Īny one have any idea on how to help me? Edited Jby Molecule
If I right click on that to install or update driver, the above 0-byte infs still don't work. If I continue, then w98se installs an unknown (?) device, which when opened in My Computer, properties, devices, shows the DataTraveler 2.0. The installed location is c:\program files\KINGSTON TECHNOLOGY CO INC\DataTraveler 2.0 (install default). according to the Kingston FAQ, I'm supposed to update using the have driver option, using an inf file located at the installed location. If I insert the stick prior to boot up, I get new device dialog. no popups, no changes in My Computer, devices, etc.
When w98se is running, inserting (or removing) the stick and removing the stick does nothing. (t's not the stick because it works on another computer) When I revert back to original version of oleaut32.dll, the InstallShield program runs ok.Īccording to their instructions, what is supposed to happen is: (don't insert stick) run expanded DTI.exe, reboot, w98 rebuilds device db and get message "insert datatraveler at any time" (don't insert), click finish to reboot, then use datatraveler.
