Unless USB drivers were written specifically for NT, you're outta luck. NT never came with USB support to my knowledge.
Try SP6a. I have heard of people using USB devices, but they had to install SP 6a first.
Nah, Brian is correct.
WinNT 4 doesn't support USB.
USB as a rule requires a P&P OS, something WinNT isn't.
There are no generic USB drivers for NT4.
Some companies wrote specific USB stacks so that some devices would run under NT.
I saw two, an old HP Printer and an old Epson scanner.
Iomega also claim that their USB ZIP drive is NT compatible too.
If the device doesn't ship with NT4 drivers and/or they aren't available as a download from their site, you'll never get it working I'm afraid.
