USB support for an old PC - Can you help me ?
Posted: Sun Oct 20, 2002 2:36 am
Hi,
I had an old PC that supports (on paper only) USB.
No USB port is present on the case, I found a passive connector that connect to motherboard and takes USB ports outsides. BIOS has capability to enable or disable USB and Windows 98 (second edition) recognize USB onboard controller and HUB when it is enabled in BIOS.
The problem is that when all of my USB device was connected no new hardware was detected by Windows and device doesn't work.
I suppose that my motherboard is one of the first with USB and it was not yet perfectly working with the BIOS release I have. In particular, the first pin on the motherboard has not the 5V on it.
Can anyone tell me if by his/her experience it really is a BIOS problem ?
The id string of my motherboard is:
09/17/97-580VPX-ALI5113-2A5LDK1AC-00
and BIOS string in top of screen is:
KM-V5-VPX-Rev 2.6
Thanks for attention.
