[Yeo Kheng Meng] has a problem: he likes Windows 98, but he also likes his 2020 ThinkPad, which only has an xHCI USB controller– you know, the kind needed for …. Modern USB Controllers On Win98 (and up). Finding none existed, he decided to do it himself, or at least guide the process of using LLMs to produce drivers for Windows 98 and up.
Some of you just stopped reading, but can you blame him for making a demonic pact for this project. Driver development isn’t really a one-man show, especially as a part-time hobby project you’re not sure anyone else will ever use. If you do want to use it, you can find the code on GitHub.
It does work, though, he admits it might be buggy. Unlike purely vibe-coded projects, [Meng] intends to address bugs put forth in the repo, at least. If you want to know how he did it, check out the link to [Meng]’s blog– which is human-authored, we can tell– and the videos embedded therein.
