What operating system? If it's Windows NT, you have to insert the USB and then reboot the system with the device still plugged in.

I know cocoapuff is running 98, but I just wanted to point out for those who might not know that Windows NT does NOT support USB.

Governor Jim McGreevey was equally disturbed about the upcoming population increase. "New Jersey cannot support all of these wookies," he said. "For starters, we don't have nearly enough kindbud. At best, we can muster up a Q.P. of some beasties, but we've not a dime-bag more."

Hmmm...interesting. I must have some additional s/w or something on one of my office 'puters; 'cause I use my Zip drive via USB all the time. Must be some software from Iomega or something that allows this

NT 4 can use USB. cant remember which service pack is needed but it is possible.
it(the USB device) also needs a special driver explicitly for NT 4

Interesting, I had always read/been taught it does not... Maybe a combination of SP6a and specialized drivers? There's no real word from Microsoft except a TechNet KB doc that says they have no plans for USB support.

Google searches reflect otherwise, so I guess I'll put a conditional on my warning above...

yeah, the problem is most manufacturers don't provide the special NT 4 driver

Yes...just getting back to this: it is an NT box (don't remember the SP #); but I remember the instructions for the unit specifically state that when connecting or disconnecting the USB from a Win NT box, that you must reboot. Funny thing though, that our IT would order up a box that has the USB hardware with NT software. Ah, well...it soon becomes a moot point as it's slated to be XP'd soon. I've been trying to convince'em to load up Linux so I can play with...er, that is, learn more about it.   ;D
