SUMMARY
To use the Universal Serial Bus (USB) adapter included with the Natural
Keyboard Elite, you need a computer with a USB port and Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (ME), or Microsoft Windows 2000.
To use the USB adapter in an MS-DOS environment, your computer's BIOS must
support USB keyboards.
NOTE: Because Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 does not support USB host
controllers, Windows NT 4.0 does not support USB keyboards or any other
USB devices. However, Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2.1 (OSR 2.1) and Windows 95 OSR 2.5 both support USB.
For additional information about Microsoft operating system support for
USB, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Does Not Support Universal Serial Bus
MORE INFORMATION
The USB adapter included with the Natural Keyboard Elite is incompatible
with the Microsoft Natural Keyboard version 1.0.
