Could someone confirm?
I have been told that WinNT 4.0, that USB is not supported at all. Is this correct?

Correct but there are some thirdparty hardware I believe.
Maybe someone can give us some more information.

Tried searching google, and found one thing that said NT4 doesn't have USB support. Looked thru microsoft.com's NT 4 homepage, and didn't find anything about USB. So I'm guess you're correct. Although there may be third party drivers. I don't know.
Found this too: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;196661

If you think about it, it shouldn't be a surprise that NT 4.0 doesn't have USB support. NT is a server OS, not a desktop OS. Not much call for USB on a server. Especially when NT 4.0 was written and introduced.

As far as I know there is no USB support in NT 4.0.

So, never in Microsoft's wildest imagination would any NT 4 user EVER desire to use a USB device? How pea-brained and tunnelvisioned can that be?

You have to realize NT4 came out before USB was popular, maybe even before USB was available. It's still a pretty decent OS considering how old it is. I can't even imagine how many machines there are out there still running on it, but it's a bunch.
