Got it off ebay, and tried using drivers off internet archive, but W95 refuses to accept them. There seemingly is either a driver difference between AUA-2000 and AUA-2000B-LP, or the drivers aren't compatible with W95.
Does anyone have experience with this card? Anywhere I can get proper drivers for it?

Thank you!

PC System Requirements
- Windows 98SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.
- IBM-compatible PC, 333 MHz Processor, (64MB RAM or better.)
- Adaptec USB 2.0 PCI Host Bus Adapter (HBA) or Adaptec CardBus.

Win98SE and up only

U can use generic Microsoft additional drivers for Windows 95 OSR2 but they are VERY glitchy and for USB flash drives only (no mices, keyboards etc)

Need help? Begin with photo and model of your hardware 😉

Oh, bummer! That's what I get for not doing proper research first: )
I'm not even sure what version of W95 I have installed, but whatever it is, so far I had no luck installing the device there.
Guess it's not that crucial, and I can just keep moving files back and forth using CompactFlash.

Maybe that's the problem? Only Windows 95 OSR 2.1 and newer had USB support, and even that requires installing an extra "USB Supplement" unless it is pre-installed on a system.

(Or so I've read. I have honestly not used Windows 95 with USB. When I had 95 I didn't have USB, and when I had USB I had Windows 98. 😅 )

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.
