Is it possible to use USB flash drive or Pen drive on Windows NT 4.0.
I know that Win NT doesn't natively support USB, but there are some legacy drivers which supports proprietary hardware like Iomega/M-System etc.

Is there anything I can do to run my LG M-Disk 128MB USB drive to copy files from NT.


Microsoft has officially removed all support for NT. So no point in trying their support. Its declared by them that USB support is available only in 98 or above [Me, 2000, XP, 2003 etc].

I'm talking about my office PCs where I can't take the decision about the OS, so I'm stuck with NT for the near future.

I'm looking for some software driver like BSquare which can emulate USB support even for NT.

Any help will be appreciated.

Well, NT4 isn't really designed for the plug/play nature of USB, allowing hot plug and such. There was a driver on the NT4 CD that you could install to enable plug/play support, but no one supported it and you were likely to screw yourself by installing it. I can't imagine it would like drives apearing and disappearing. But it has been done... (http://www.x-3dfx.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=304)
