This is not possible, because there are no drivers with Book Port. If
it were, we would have made it work with 98 in the first place. You're
dealing with a different platform issue in 98.

Walt,
When you see a note from me, you can assume that I've read the manual.
I don't want to run the BP software. I want to know if I can use the
device
on a 98 machine as an external storage device and, if so, where I might
find
a driver to make it work.
Reed

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
know that the transfer software won't run in Windows 9X. This is from
the
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

I have plugged my BP into a USB port on an old Windows 98 machine. I
want
to use the BP as an external storage device.
Windows 98 can't find a driver for it on it's hard drive. The machine
doesn't have access to the internet. So, I want to find a device
driver
using my Windows XP machine, copy it to a cd and use this to install it
on
my 98 machine.
Is this possible? Where can I find an appropriate device driver?
Thanks.
Reed
