I've used this driver with an SiS 635 motherboard with Win98 SE and an NEC USB 2.0 card. With that board I had to be sure to install this driver prior to installing the AGP driver - doing it in reverse led to bluescreens.

First thing I tried. It doesn't let me install it in Windows ME

Archive.org has an SiS driver package that might be just what you need. The moderators here don't like to link to that site, but here's the description that will bring it right up: SiS USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller Driver (Version 5.0.2195.5652)

"The package covers

Windows 98
Windows Millennium Edition
Windows 2000
Windows XP"

I've tried that one too. The installer claims it either can't detect the hardware or I get a Rundll32 error. Similar behavior if I try through device manager.

Maybe give Win98 SE a try?

I might do that, its just the faffing about with ram sticks that annoys me. Also it was bit of an ordeal getting ME onto the system: Both it and 98se were locking up on the initial loading screen in the installer after reaching 100%. I think it might have been a system speed issue because it installed correctly (albeit slowly) once I dropped the HT link speed to 200 MHZ and disabled both caches and disabled bios shadowing. That's odd because I haven't heard of fast Netburst and Core based systems having that problem. It might have been just disabling bios shadowing but I vaguely remember doing that during a previous attempt. For now, I think I'll just stick with 1.1 speeds in WinME. Everything works in XP anyway. In general this board has exhibited a bit of weirdness, stuff like lots of incomplete resets. It might be something I did when I recapped the VRMs: I used polymer caps for the smaller ones closer to the CPU and populated a couple of blank spots. I used some chunky Panasonic FCs for the larger caps. Thing is I can't imagine additional AC smoothing being a problem, because that's what it amounts to. It might also be some of the other caps, they're your generic garbage tier stuff that a lot of lower end manufacturers were using at the time. I bought it NIB only to find out some of the VRM caps had puked themselves in storage; complained about it and they sent me another one. It also had bad caps but I figured I could fix one and flip it. Still haven't gotten around to flipping one: I'd prefer not to do so until I'm sure one of them is stable.
