USB 2.0 is 2001 and later hardware.

http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/2.4.31/ehci-hcd.o

Uploaded separately from the main package (which may not include the 
lucent modules either, in another package here).

Copy into /lib/modules/2.4.31/   wherever you have the other USB drivers 
or ./kernel/drivers/usb/host if you got my full package.  For BL3 I just 
copied the relevant drivers into ./misc (all but pcmcia).

With smf kernel (or my other 2.4.31 kernels including laptop)
but NOT with David's kernel, which needs David's modules because he 
copmpiled using a different glibc:

insmod scsi_mod
insmod sd_mod
insmod usbcore
insmod ehci-hcd  (or usb-ohci, usb-uhci, uhci for USB 1.1 controllers)
insmod usb-storage

Wait for it to find your USB memory stick, memory card reader, zip drive 
or hard drive, or USB storage camera as /dev/sda1, hit Enter to get the 
prompt, then mount /dev/sda1 /mnt (or on /camera or /flash etc.)

!!!!!!!! umount /dev/sda1 before removing the stick!!!!!!!

You can unplug and replug the stick and it should be found again as the 
same /dev/sda1.  UMOUNT IT FIRST before unplugging or you risk screwing up 
the file system on the stick.

If a second USB device is plugged in it is sda2, etc.

Onboard USB 1.1 is dead on my fastest 'junk' computer.  A friend gave us a 
USB 2.0 add-in card which worked in DOS but not as UHCI or OHCI in linux. 
The hardware is backwards compatible but the drivers are not. The driver 
was tested by me only on this card but in 2001 was said to work with 
Intel, NEC, Philips and VIA controllers.

Unfortunately the card does not work physically in this case unless you 
remove the side and plug into the internal USB slot.  The external ones 
are blocked at the edges.  More filing needed on the slot edges.

My partner assured me it all worked and left it with the flash drive 
inside the computer.  Big help.

New use for junk hard drives - three local artists want the aluminum disks 
and copper 'flowers' for making jewelry, paintings, etc.
