-- Will a USB port work with win95? (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=1577)

I recognize this question might be premature seeing that many of us have not received our visor yet but, I would like to know if there is a way to manually setup my USB port to work with the visor using Windows 95? I was under the assumption that the latest version of win 95 recognized the USB technology. Your response will be appreciated.

Good question..

I'm running W95 OSR2.1 w/ the USB Supplement on a few systems and HOPE that the USB cradle will be supported (I did order a serial cradle just to be safe, tho).

I've only recently enabled USB on my main workstation. The USB Controller and Root Hub seem fine in Device Manager and the Intel USB System Check program says that everythings fine.

I picked up a Gravis Gamepad Pro USB for 20 bucks. Plugged it in. System identified it immediately BUT it turns out that it requires some files that are Win98 only.

Hopefully all the necessary USB support files/drivers will be included in the Visor installation.

For what is is worth, I am running Win 95 OSR2 on both of my PCs (laptop and desktop), and have the USB patch installed. I have been using a USB networking kit for 6 months now to connect them with no problems at all. The networking kit said on the box that it was for Win 98 only, so I am hoping that my new Visor will also be flexible.
