    Microsoft has recently released MDAC 2.7 SP1 for Win98, WinME, NT4, and Windows 2000. If you were using HFNetChk 3.86, it would detect MDAC 2.7 and tell you that SP1 was the most recent SP, but before Dec 18 it wasn't possible to get MDAC 2.7 SP1 outside of Windows XP SP1.
     
    MDAC 2.7 SP1 is available here:
