Re: How to I get a USB memory stick driver for Windows CE 5.0?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Memory sticks would typically be identified not by vid/pid which is unique to a device+manufacturer but other identifying information, namely the class/subclass/protocol of their interfaces. The mass storage driver (usbdisk6.dll,usbmsc.dll) should be installed to support any device of interface base class 8, or the mass storage class defined by usb.org

Hi Paul,

I do in fact have another USB device working. It is a USB to 485 converter
that has a ftdi chip in it. And when I plug this device I also get the
window:

Unidentified USB Device
Enter the name of the driver for this USB device:
Driver Name: -----------

But the difference here is that I have downloaded driver files from the ftdi
web site.
They supply a dll and and ini file. I had to edit the ini file in such a
way that it includes the vendor and product id that is being sent when the
USB to 485 converter is plugged in. Then I had to copy the dll and the ini
file to the \Windows directory on my CE device. Then when the above window
came up I simply type the name of the dll and it worked. Wouldn't I have to
do something similar with a memory stick?

Does *any* USB device work? Maybe your host driver for your hardware isn't
working and therefore is returning incorrect characteristics for the stick?
Did you include the partition driver for FAT? The device isn't formatted
for NTFS or something, is it?
