Re: [Thinkpad] usb and windows nt?

Known stability
Efficiency
Cost of qualifying a new OS (business setting?)
If it works don't fix it

I've never used NT, but if I may borrow from other experience,
I had one set of applications which I used to run happily in
DOS. DR-DOS 5.0 was the last DOS which would run these
applications (one was a TSR) as later versions of DOS did
something funny with the hotkey. There is no Windows
application that will do what these old applications did. Life
goes on and I became satisfied with doing something less
efficient because of all the other advantages of having more
than 1 MB of RAM. But it did break that one important
application for me.

Incidentally, USB can be run in Windows 95 OSR 2.5, but not all
devices. I helped somebody set up a system like that, she
never wanted to add further USB devices, and we are both happy.

I was wondering if it is possible to add 1394 / Firewire to a
Win95a installation. Didn't find an answer in Google, but
since people said you couldn't get it to work in Win98 (only
Win98SE), I'm guessing the answer is "No".
