No workaround. NT was released way before USB was 'invented'. Upgrade to
Windows 2000 or to XP.
 
Greetings --

Microsoft decided, and announced, years ago that there would *not*
be any USB support built into WinNT, regardless of service pack.
There is no Microsoft-approved/supported patch to add USB support to
WinNT.

Windows NT 4.0 Does Not Support Universal Serial Bus

That said, some device manufacturers, such as Iomega, have
developed rudimentary WinNT USB support that works _only_ with their
own devices. Also, there have been reports of some 3rd party USB
add-ons for WinNT, but I've never bothered to look into the matter
further, as I've long since upgraded to Win2K and subsequently WinXP,
both of which do support USB.
