Yes, Hi Doris. . . I've never looked too far for win NT USB support. It
was never an issue, but I always understood that, while drivers could be
written (witness the plethora of parallel port peripherals), they weren't
because win 2000 was coming. What have you done to enable USB support on
your NT machine? Is this a 3rd party solution?

Hi Doris,
Did you say you are using NT and have USB support?

USB support is a hardware issue, not software, unless
you are using an old mac. I am typing this on an NT
machine with functioning USB support.
