I need to connect up a USB flash drive to Win NT workstation. Anyone have any USB drivers for NT or know where I can get a working one? Basic drivers will work.
Thanks!

I was under the impression that NT did not have ANY support for USB.

That is true. But there supposed to be third party drivers out there, but I am having troubles finding them.

I believe you can use a single USB device with 3rd party drivers. I was never able to find a free driver though...

yeah, i can't find free ones either. I really don't want to buy and try and find out that it doesn't work.

Officially NT didn't have USB support... do a search you may be able to still find the 3rd party company that wrote USB drivers...but it was hit and miss from what I've heard on how well it worked.
The software wasn't freeware either..it was commercial, and you had to pay for it.

USB drivers that provide limited USB support for Windows NT have been around for a couple of years. USB for Windows NT 4.0 by BSquare allows you to use plug-and-play USB mice, keyboards, printers, and Pocket PC cradles (HP Jornada 545/548, Compaq iPaq and the Socket Compact Flash card) on your Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 PC. Windows NT 4.0 users, both enterprise users and consumers, can get off-the-shelf USB capability without having to upgrade their operating system, use a dual boot system, or develop device drivers. Unfortunately, the BSquare drivers do not support any other USB devices, or hubs other than the ones listed. ~$39.99USD
IOMega was one of the first to offer USB NT driver support for its products by way of their proprietary IOMegaWare software package.
sorry pal :(

The OP didn't mention anything about free :) It all depends on how badly you want to remain using an obsolete OS.
