My Asus (P4S533) motherboard comes with a *SiS
chipset and includes USB2 drivers only for Win2000
and Win-XP but not Win'98 .......... :-(
Is there any way to enable USB2 using any third
party software/ driver?
.... Or ... Can an addon PCI USB2 Card enable the
USB2 function?
I'll stick to Intel chipset motherboards in future.....
TIA

*SiS 645dx =north bridge and SiS 962 =south bridge.

Verify that you have a SIS962 on the board. The Asus manual
for the P4S533 mentions a 961b as the Southbridge. This page
has a table that mentions what features are in each Southbridge.

The P4S533-VM has a SIS962. Maybe you have the -VM or -MX board?

I traced down a driver for this a while back.

Since the MSI link is dead, try installing this file. It appears
to be an Orangeware driver, and would likely work with Win98SE.
No guarantees of course.

Confirmed ! It _is_ a SiS "962" - Sorry I neglected to mention
that the Motherboard is an Asus " P4S533-E "
So Paul, does your advise still apply ?
Thnx
