For a while I thought that USB ports did't work until after Windows
started, but PS-2 ports and the larger round ports that preceded them
worked before Windows loaded. As soon as the BIOS ran.

Now I think I'm wrong, but was there ever some truth to this?



I am thinking the first version of either win 95 or 98 had computers
with the USB port,but it would not work. Then there was an update that
would load a driver for the USB port.

Could be that win 95B was the first one that even used the usb.

Been a long time, so could be way off.
