FLASH Technology and WinNT

[Doramius]

At work, my laptop uses WinNT, because that's what we have to use. unfortunately NT is not USB friendly. In fact USB and WinNT go together like wired jawed ghey men with no a**holes.

I have seen USB devices plug into serial ports and PS/2 ports with an adapter. However, is there a simple adapter for the USB flash drives to plug into and connect to a WinNT system? I doubt a PS/2 adapter would work, but has anyone tried it? Or even a serial USB adapter? Would you need drivers? The drivers for most USB devices are built right in, so that's my main question.

dell has developed a genaric USB driver for NT4 that works on laptops and desktops almost all the time

Thank you much. It works fine. I was trying a search for the software, but I found crappy stuff that didn't work and it almost messed up the notebook. This one I hadn't tried, but it loaded fine and works smoothly.

Your misshapen head and extra facial features are the scary part.
