Just posting this so that people with the same problems I had dont
have to spend hours wasting their time - a google search should find
this posting:
Anyway, I bought an iriver T30 mp3 player here in Australia to connect
to my Win98se ( windows98se ) computer.
Once plugged in, control panel / system / device manager clearly shows
the hardware is found, but it doesnt work because a driver could not
be found for it.
Why not? I ask myself... the CD that comes with the product clearly
has a "Win98seDriver" directory with a T30umd.inf file... but windows
doesnt recognise it as a valid driver for that device.
Much internet searching later, I come up with nothing useful. :(
But to cut a long story short, a look through the windows registry shows
that iriver has a vendor ID (VID) of 4102, and there are entries for
2 different product ID (versions?) of the T30. One has a PID of 1015,
and the other has a PID of 1018.
The driver supplied with the product is for the PID_1015, but the actual
item in the box (as it turns out) is the PID_1018. Go figure.
Of course windows was never going to use that driver.
Soooo... the solution for me is to use the T30umd.inf driver supplied on
the CD, but copy it somewhere else off the CD and make the modification in
the file from:
[iriver]
%USB\VID_4102&PID_1015.DeviceDesc%=USBSTOR_BULK.install,USB\VID_4102&PID_10
15
to
[iriver]
%USB\VID_4102&PID_1018.DeviceDesc%=USBSTOR_BULK.install,USB\VID_4102&PID_10
18
(no text wrapping in the original file)
All works fine now.
cheers...
