Hi,

Does Windows NT Server 4.0 support USB? I have heard it supports USB after installing Service Pack 6 or 6A but I am not able to detect USB port or USB devices after doing so. Help needed very urgently.

Yogesh

From all that I've heard on previous posts, USB will never be supported by NT 4.0
Try searching for 'NT USB' and you should find an answer.

Yogesh,

It seems there are two solutions I have found on the internet but I am affraid to try them.

YOu can purchase an adaptor -- like the ssu-100D25 from Quatech. It has a male D25 serial port -- which works in the back of my desktop as my desktop has a female port. HOwever, a techie friend of mine says this will lead to very slow downloads.

Secondly, a company called BSquare sells a software called "USB for Windows NT 4.0"

Again I haven't tried either of these but they may work. If anyone knows, please let us know. I am trying to get my new Sony Clie to work with my Windows NT software.
