No

You can't give usb support to Win 3.1 but there is some limited support for DOS.

>can i upgrade to windows nt from windows 3.1?<

Yes, but Windows NT 3.51 has no USB support either. Better to upgrade to Win98SE (that machine should handle it)...

Well, although i didn't see any particular
reference to NT351, version 4 of nt *does*
support USB with a third party add-on..
Most hardware level additions in win31 are
done in dos, instead..this would include
USB..if you can get the dos USB drivers out
there to work for you (they don't always
work for everybody) them win31 will
recognize any dos-loaded USB device...

By this, I assume he's wanting to upgrade from Win3.1 to NT3.51...

Even NT 4.0 is iffy for USB support...
