Win 98se USB ver 1 to ver 2 update question

July 12, 2008

I have a Packard Bell from when they were sold in the US that came

with 98se and USB ver 1. The system runs good yet and does what I

need it too. The only thing is that it would be nice to have USB ver

2.

Is it possible and not too much trouble to change it to USB ver 2??

TIA

July 12, 2008

Re: Win 98se USB ver 1 to ver 2 update question

For Windows 98 SE (but NOT the original 98), you simply add a USB2 card.

Just make certain that Windows 98 SE drivers are supplied. Here's one that

will work:

Depends upon the motherboard, if it supported 2.0 it would have been

configured as such.

To get USB 2.0 buy an adapter which provides it. Might be wise to find one

with the 98SE software/support IF it requires it.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a motherboard from

a machine like the one described be unable to support the speed

of USB 2, even if you somehow found drivers for it?

USB2 is backwards compatible with 1.1 and if your machine is

that old (mine is even older), 1.1 will be enough of a treat,

IMHO. I am pretty sure you can't buy anything that's not ver. 2

by now, cards or peripherals.

You woud be correct for new parts, but USB 1{.1} used adapters obviously

still exist..

When I got system it had Win 98 and USB 2 was not out yet. That is

probably why it had version 1.

Well, what model Pakard Bell are we discussing, we can look at the specs to

see if the board supported USB 2.0.

I bought a USB card that fits in a PCI slot and the cost was only around $10

US.

There are a wide variety including those that even have firewire, etc

connectors on them.

One place to check for a quick idea is pricewatch.com .

Well, thought that would help, but it must be so old there isn't any

readily available info...

Okay, nearest I can find was originally configured for Win95, best possible

USB 1, so a USB 2.0 adapter and 98SE will be required.

The system was purchased new by me in 12/11/98 and came with Win98 and

2 usb 1 ports which I upgraded to 98se.

I have all the original books, receipts, etc for it so I know the

above info is correct and it did not have 95 on it.

Guess I will try the USB2 card Gary S. Terhune spoke about earlier.

When I installed the PCI USB2 card on my Win98SE system, I did not have to

remove/disable my USB 1 ports. In fact, I use both at the same time.

I opened my case and there are only 2 PCI slots of which one contains

the ethnet card ans the other the card for the modem so I guess that

means I do not install a USB 2 card.

It is too old a system to start over hauling it or whatever to get USB

2 capabilities so I guess it is use as is or get a new system! UGH

Re: Win 98se USB ver 1 to ver 2 update question for Gary S. Terhune

Re: Win 98se USB ver 1 to ver 2 update question for Gary S. Terhune

The ethernet card (network card) is for the high speed DSL modem and

the card for the moden or whatever was installed when I got the

Packard Bell system new back in 1998.

I could probably remove the card for modem but I use it if I ever need

a backup plus I do not really know a lot about working on these so to

remove it and do whatever I would have to get it done and it is too

old a system for me to start monkeying with it and putting money into

it.

So------- As I said I guess it is use as is or get new system.

Thanks all.

Ahh, well if you're looking for the right reason, now isn't a bad time to be

considering your options relative to getting a new machine. There's still

plenty of XP's around, or you can go for Vista and a rather steeper learning

curve.

I think this is your motherboard:

http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/pb/mb/930.htm

Chipset : ALi Aladdin V M1541/M1543C AGP/PCI/ISA

Interfaces :

Dual USB connector

The absence of a specific reference to USB 1.1 or 2.0 suggests that

your onboard USB is not 2.0 capable.

In fact the datasheet for the Aladdin V chipset ...

http://ssu5.sumdu.edu.ua/Drivers/mb/ali/doc/1541pbc4.pdf..pdf

.... states that it only supports USB 1.0a.

====================================================================

USB Interface

· One Root Hub with three USB ports based on OpenHCI 1.0a

specification

· Supports FS (12Mbits/sec) and LS (1.5Mbits/sec) Serial Transfer

· Supports Legacy Keyboard and Mouse Software with USB-based Keyboard

and mouse

====================================================================

You could use an external serial modem in place of the internal one.

That should cost peanuts in the second hand market.

A cheap speed upgrade would be an AMD K6-2 450MHz CPU. Use the x2 CPU

clock multiplier setting (this translates to 6x) and an FSB speed of

75 MHz. You may be lucky and find an AMD K6-3 that works with your

motherboard.

Alternatively, overclocking your existing CPU would cost you nothing.

You could try 75 MHz x 5 (375 MHz) or 75 x 5.5 (412 MHz) or 66 x 6

(400 MHz, use the 2X setting). You might need to bump up the CPU core

voltage a little if the system becomes unstable. The jumper settings

in the manual appear to follow a binary pattern with JP1 being the

least significant bit and JP4 the MSB. Based on this assumption, I

have added those settings marked with an asterisk.

Thanks for suggestions but I haven't the slightest idea what you are

talking about.

As I said above I know about programs but when it comes to system

forget it. Anything done in the box it has to go to the shop.

Use as is or new system is what I have to decide now.

Thanks all.
