Is there any way to make the USB work under win95?
I have a old version which says USB supported, unfortunately
I have never seen any USB device working under Win95.

Thanks

I've worked with several friends' computers that came with '95 and had USB.
We often couldn't get drivers but the ports worked which always amazed me
since I read so often that USB didn't work in '95.

USB support is very limited on win95b/c
unless the device you are using specifically states that it will work on
win95...
chances are it will not work.
You can probably get your USB ports detected...
but not too much of a chance of actually getting devices working.

You can always give it a try or just upgrade to win98se

Be sure to keep clearly in mind the difference between getting USB to work
and getting devices you plug into the USB to work. The former is relatively
easy, especially with portables that were delivered with USB support. The
latter is much more difficult.
