This package is intended to be used on a new, clean installation of Windows 95 OSR2. A "Safe Disconnect & Removal" utility is also provided that will appear in the System Tray when a device is connected and functions like Windows ME, 2000, or XP. Once installed, no other third-party drivers will be required for USB Mass Storage devices and they will simply "plug and play" as they do under Windows ME, 2000, or XP. This package is similar in function and intent to "NUSB" - a popular unofficial update for Windows 98 Second Edition. This unofficial update package for Windows 95 OSR 2.x (95B and 95C) combines all of the original Microsoft USB Supplement packages and HotFixes ever issued for USB support under Windows 95 along with a universal USB Mass Storage Device driver solution for Windows 95 into one stand alone installer. XUSBSUPP - eXtended USB Supplement for Windows 95 OSR 2.xĬonner McCoy (LoneCrusader) & Rudolph Loew (rloew) So without repeating myself, here is the "ReadMe" for the package, which will provide further details. This package has been a long time in the making, and would not be possible without our good friend rloew, who has created a universal USB storage driver that is Windows 95 compatible. No endless searching for USB storage drivers that work. This is essentially "NUSB for Windows 95" except for the fact that no USB 2.0 drivers exist for Windows 95.
