Want my BIOS to recognize new usb 2.0 ports after adding a PCI usb 2.0
card under w98se.
newegg mentions installing drivers for some of these pci 2.0 cards.
Are these pci usb 2.0 cards dependent on OS drivers under w98se? IOW, if
I add such a card will boot mgrs. like BING (which work through bios) be
able to detect external usb 2.0 drives?
Checked the bios upgrade at the mb site, which upgrades for big hard
drives, but no mention of usb 2.0 support?
Your onboard bios will never see the PCI card's USB ports.
Nope. It will see it through the cards BIOS if both support BBS.
Windows 98SE has no native support for USB 2.0.
The operating system and bios are 2 different entities.
The former dependent on the latter in this case,
Nope.
not vice versa as you asked about.
He did?
I do not use BING.
BING does not work through the bios.
No?
