BIOS Updates forum

I have pursued this issue without success. I am grateful for the help and advice I received along the way. Before giving up on it completely I have carried out an audit of my setup in the hope that someone might put a finger on what is preventing the USB 2 controller adapter card from working.
As a ...

Hi Cp

I know that XPPro will support the USB 2 PCI Card Controller adapter (VIA) using drivers provided by Microsoft.
I have had it running on my XPPro computer without downloading drivers from the VIA site.
I am trying to install the card in an old 1996 Computer which has an Intel i430 FX Triton ...

Very many thanks for the 154kb download of Win 98/ME VIA files. I will have no trouble handling them. I take it that these files are correct for Win. 98SE. You say that I will have to point Win98 to the appropriate INF files. How do I go about doing that. ? Where will I find the INF files ...

Thank you fzabkar. I presume that the additional enhanced host controller listed below is the EHCI USB 2 Host Controller I was looking for. I’m afraid that the detailed information retrieved is far too technical for me to make sense of. Perhaps you might be able to find a clue therein as to why the ...

I do apologise. You are quite right ,the VIA USB2 driver package (VIA_USB2_V270PI_L.ZIP (10045 kb)) which I downloaded from VIA Arena web site should have required about 5 floppies. I downloaded it onto the desktop on my XPPro computer. Obviously I did not copy it to a single floppy disk as ...

Hallo CP
I did not ignore Denniss’ advice. Perhaps I unwittingly misconstrued it.
The Computer (Windows 98 SE ) in which I have the 5 Ports USB 2 PCI Card Controller adapter (VIA) installed is in a holiday home which has not got a telephone land line.
Not being able to connect to the Internet I was ...

Thanks Fzabkar for your help.
I did in fact remove all the VIA drivers showing in Device manager before attempting to install the self-extract fileNusb33e which I had downloaded to floppy disk. When I opened Nusb33e files were copied from the floppy disk ( what they were or to where they were ...

Thanks Fzabkar
I am not sure what package comprises the Maximus Decim Native USB driver set.
I have attempted to install the Windows 98SE Generic USB Mass Storage Device Drivers v 3.3-nusb33e.exe but looking back on it I think I may have got it all wrong –Mass Storage Device ?? Anyhow the ...

Thanks again Denniss
I downloaded the file VIA_usb2_v270p1_l.zip on my xppro computer and saved it to floppy disk The Windows 98 computer in which I am endeavoring to install a USB2 port does not have an internet connection. When I tried to unzip the file in the Windows 98 computer I got an error ...

Many thanks for your help. You have provided me with a lot of information which I will take some time to digest. As mentioned I keep the old computer in a holiday home. It provides SCSI connectivity with my favourite BlackWidow 9630/36 Pro Scanner. A USB port would allow me to connect a memory stick ...

I have an old Computer (1996 vintage , Pentium 120 Mhz processor , Windows 98 2nd ed operating system (update from Windows 95)) which I keep in a holiday home. I would like to install a 5 Ports USB 2 PCI Card Controller adapter (VIA) in that computer . When I tried to install it the installation ...
