| 26262 | 2001-12-02 02:46:00 | You can buy a USB card for your PC, with two or four ports. Disk Smith Electronics & others sell them. You should be running at least Windows 98 to use USB successfully. | Guest (0) | ||
| 26263 | 2001-12-02 05:31:00 | Don Before you buy a USB card, check your motherboard manual as your computer may be USB capable but simply not have the sockets fitted. You can buy a lead and socket-ground plane to get access to USB. I did this on my older computer when I needed USB. You might need to install drivers or enable USB as well but check in Device Manager (RT click computer/properties/device manager & scroll to bottom of list to see if the USB controller is present) Billy 8-{) |
