USB support in NT4

[CrimsonKing]

I did a search and couldn't find anything, so I'm hoping someone here might be able to help. I'm trying to help a co-worker set up her Handspring Visor on her work computer. She has a Latitude CPi running NT4. Unfortunately, Handspring ships with a USB cradle. I called our desktop support group and someone thought that Iomega had a USB driver for NT. I have searched Dell, Microsoft and Iomega web sites with no luck. Can anyone confirm or deny that there is a way to support the USB port through NT? Thanks.

USB in NT is an absolute nightmare that doesn't work 99% of the time.

Tell her to suck it up and buy the serial cradle from Handspring, I think it's $20.

Can only find the cradle, which is $30. But I didn't even know that existed at first. I'd rather save her the money, but if USB doesn't work, I guess I'll have to.
Thanks.

There is no support for USB under WinNT 4. Just like there is no support for DirectX over version 3.

If you want this, you will have to get Windows 2000.

I just asked because I've heard the contrary. Oh, well. Not my money!

pcmark: thanks for the link I could use usb support in NT...but at $79.00 bucks a license CrimsonKing might as well just buy the $30 serial cradle...

I would download the 30 day free trial and try to hack it😀

With 30,000 employees, we can't afford to do stuff like that here! We're the company that license managers are watching!
