I've got an external USB CDRW (LG 8080) and I want to use it on my professional computer which uses NT 4. Where can I find a USB driver for NT 4.

USB is NOT supported by NT. So you will never find any USB driver.

Unfortunately Bishlouk is correct, NT4 does not support USB. That was one of the major disadvantages (in my opinion) of NT. If you have the hardware to run it, install Win2000 as Vivider suggested. If not try Win98 or get an IDE burner insted.

These guys purport to provide a solution for NT users who want to enable USB.
But also see:

You might want to check with dcovell to see if he has already tried the bsquare driver. Maybe it isn't worth a rat's ass.
