Allen,
WindowsNT 4.0 does not support USB. There are minor exceptions, such as
vendor specific drivers for proprietary hardware (such as Iomega's own
drivers for USB Zip drives on NT4) which will only work with that hardware.
You might want to check with the vendor of the peripheral you are trying to
connect to your PC for support on NT4.

PS: The mailing list you sent a note to is an internal MIT peer list for
Windows users and not an official support resource--internal or external. I
note that your address indicates you are at Harvard, so I'd generally
advise that you direct such queries to your internal IT support
organization who may be able to respond faster and more comprehensively
depending on your needs.
