    Post USB support in Windows NT

    NT does not support USB does it?

    Actually, I have seen a set of drivers/kernel hacks which will supposedly enable limited (read 95OSR2) USB support to NT4.0. I've never had the gonads to try it, though...

    I heard about a third party company that provides drivers for USB in Windows NT. Unfortunately, it will cost you some serious cash. I think this is the one: http://www.bsquare.com/products/devtools/usbwin40/

    Here is MS's KB article on the subject: http://support.microsoft.com/support.../Q196/6/61.ASP

    I'm not really worried about adding USB support. I just thought it was funny when the author was confused as to why this USB device wouldn't work under NT.
