This unofficial update package for Windows 95 OSR 2.x (95B and 95C) combines all of the original Microsoft USB Supplement packages and HotFixes ever issued for USB support under Windows 95 along with a universal USB Mass Storage Device driver solution for Windows 95 into one stand alone installer. XUSBSUPP - eXtended USB Supplement for Windows 95 OSR 2.xĬonner McCoy (LoneCrusader) & Rudolph Loew (rloew) So without repeating myself, here is the "ReadMe" for the package, which will provide further details.
This package has been a long time in the making, and would not be possible without our good friend rloew, who has created a universal USB storage driver that is Windows 95 compatible. No endless searching for USB storage drivers that work. This is essentially "NUSB for Windows 95" except for the fact that no USB 2.0 drivers exist for Windows 95. As cheap as USB Flash Drives are getting, they still aren’t anywhere near as cheap as DVD and CD media.Well, here it is folks. I don’t recommend using them to backup static data like pictuers and music.
Data like Quicken, Quickbooks, email files, address books, bookmarks/favorites, word processing or spreadsheet documents all are perfect candidates. USB Flash Drives work best for backing up data that changes often. This weekend, I saw 2 GB (that’s nearly 2000 floppy disks worth of space) USB Flash Drives on sale for less than $20! Flash drives are too inexpensive, reliable and easy to use not be using them. In my humble opinion, there is no good use for floppy disk any longer unless you happen to be using a DOS or Windows 95 machine. Whether they ‘bite’ or not only time will tell. I explained to all these folks how simple, efficient and spacious a USB Flash drive could be for them. The picture I took here was from a consultant’s desk…there must be 20 floppies in that box. All three users had Windows XP machines, but felt that floppy disks fit their needs the best. I worked with three customers today who all used floppy disks as their main backup.
