Appendix B 

Using USB with Windows 95 

If you are using Windows 95 OSR2.1 or above, please continue with the sections below. 
If not, see the note at the end of Appendix A. 

Checking for USB Hardware 

To verify that the necessary hardware, a USB Host Controller, is installed in your system, 
make sure that your PC has USB connectors. If not, then this system will not support USB 
regardless of the Windows version. You will need to purchase a PCI USB controller card, 
such as the Step Up Kit from Inside Out Networks. If your PC has USB connectors, verify 
that the USB hardware is enabled in your system BIOS configuration.  

In some cases your manufacturer may have elected to ship your PC without the USB sup-
port drivers installed. If the two USB device manager hardware listings are absent in your 
Device Manager, proceed to “Installing Microsoft USB Support” on page 6.  

After installing USB Support from your Microsoft Windows 95 OEM system disk, check 
your Device Manager again. If the two devices are not present or Windows Plug & Play 
does not auto detect the Edgeport, try the following:  

1) If only the HOST Controller is listed in the Device Manager then remove it and re-
boot.  

2) From the Control Panel, open the System Properties and select “Check for a device 
labeled ?UNKNOWN.” If ROOT HUB and HOST Controller are listed, then remove 
them and reboot.  

If, after rebooting, the Add Hardware Wizard finds the USB devices and requires new 
drivers, such as UHCD.SYS, you can locate the drivers in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM 
directory. If, after following the procedures described in this guide, you are still having 
installation problems, please call (512)306-0600 and ask for Technical Support.  

Determining USB Support 

If you have an earlier version than Windows 95 OSR2.1, please read the Note at the end 
of “Installing Microsoft USB Support ” on page 6. Otherwise, to determine if your system 
supports USB, perform the following steps:  

1) Insert the “Edgeport Driver” CD into your CD-ROM drive.  

2) In the START menu, select RUN.  

3) Type 

<CD drive letter>:\Win95\usbready

.  

One of two USB System Checker dialogs will appear. If your system does not support 
USB, the dialog will read, “

This system DOES NOT currently support USB!

” Proceed 

to “Determining Why Support Is Not Present” on page 6. 

If your system supports USB, the dialog will read, “

This system DOES have support for 

USB

” and you may continue with the Windows 95 installation instructions for your particu-

lar Edgeport product.. 

Checking for Full USB Support in the Device Manager 

1) From the main desktop area of Windows, right click on the My Computer icon and 
choose Properties to open the System Properties window.
