GoKawiilDeveloper releases xHCI98 driver bringing USB4/Thunderbolt support to Windows 98 SE
Retrocomputing developer Yeo Kheng Meng has released xHCI98 v3.0.0.0, an experimental driver suite that adds support for USB 3.x, USB4, and Thunderbolt 3/4 host controllers to Windows 98 SE, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, and 7. The project, built with AI assistance, replaces Windows' native USB drivers to enable hotplugging, storage, Ethernet, and audio devices on systems whose chipsets lack legacy EHCI controllers.
