Does Windows NT 4.0 Workstation SP6a Support USB?

[EzeAris]

Does anyone knows?

[mattarnster]

Guess: With drivers? Probably.

[EzeAris]

Without drivers.. Like Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 does.

[eraser]

Not natively

It does with a 3rd party driver like this one from oldos.org http://files.oldos.org/files/updates/winntusb.exe

Just downloaded an USB "Fix" from Dell, let's hope it make it work.. I wanted to put it on my "Desktop 2" PC (see signature) to add it to the Workgroup and copy some data

You have to use Dell's drivers

[awergh]

The Dell drivers work fine on NT4. You might need the FAT32 Driver if your using a flash drive though.

[EzeAris]

Ok, thanks for your help

[mewrox99]

Where do you find the FAT32 Driver?

[awergh]

I found the NT4 FAT32 Driver in a sysinternals archive i think except I can't find my copy of it but the NT4 FAT32 Drivers is here

I think you can get USB driver for NT with Windows Update
Am I right?
I could do that with 95

...or simply Intel Driver

[awergh]

Microsoft never released an NT4 USB Update on Windows Update

[Luckie]

afaik, Windows NT 4.0 never had USB support. Only Windows 95b had an USB patch on the CD.

[awergh]

NT4 never had official USB Support but USB on NT4 is still possible using the dell USB Drivers

[DuranMedine]

You will need the ion update

I actually downloaded something that makes USB work on NT 4.0 http://files.oldos.org/files/updates/winntusb.exe never tested it though but it was provided by Dell. Try it.

There are also thinkpad files that add usb support to windows nt4.

I have tried the dell files, but not the ibm ones. I have a free thinkpad now for this kind of experiment.
