OffTopic : How to run USB devices on NT

[cbscbs]

I have couple of USB interface devices like scanner, printer, etc and wish to connect to Windows NT. Please advice if there are any USB drivers or convertors that will allow me to do so.

Heh, if people come here they must realize there's more than one forum on these boards...why even post it in "Hot Deals" if ya know it doesn't go here? People will gladly answer your questions...if it's in the appropriate place.

While this is off topic, and should be posted In the operating system forum..

However, you will find the same answer here and there -- WinNT does not support USB in any flavor. You can either upgrade to Win2K, as previous suggested, or WinXP.

cheers,

Though this belonges to the other forum,
There are "unofficial" USB drivers for NT but not for heavy duty stuff like a scanner etc.

PM me and I'll help

This is an incorrect statement. Most people think that, but the truth of the matter is that NT DOES support USB but not as well as 98 and 2000. You'll need SP6a and a company willing to put out USB drivers for your peripheral. Epson is a good company that puts out NT USB drivers for some of their scanners.
