Yeah...and about time for MS to do it, too. The world moves on and

I think you're right, and given that MicroSoft has announced that as of July 
this year they will no longer support Windows '98 and Windows ME it would 
seem to be time for anyone with a Win '98 machine or Windows ME to consider 
upgrading their Windows or their computer.

: Seems to me that I remember seeing something from one of the APH folks 
that
: this isn't possible, but I'm sure one of them will confirm or deny. I do

: manual and as it says "Book Port" and not specifically the transfer 
program,
: I think that it's quite likely the answer:

: Book Port requires the following minimal system:
:
: . PC with USB connections
: . Windows Me, 2000, XP, or later
: . CD-ROM drive
: . At least 64 MB RAM
: . 15 MB free hard disc space

: Windows 98 can't find a driver for it on it's hard drive.  The machine

: Is this possible?  Where can I find an appropriate device driver?
