Windows 98 seems to need some drivers in order to read and write to a flash drive. Anyone know where to find drivers I can download to 3.5" floppy and then install to Win 98? Thanks, Dave

In many instances, you will need the exact driver for the specific USB device. For instance, External USB connected Hard Drives will provide a driver and configuration instructions for Win98, whereas the same External USB connected Hard Drive will be simply "plug & play" in XP. Check the manufacturer's website for the specific USB device you wish to use. Best Regards, Doug

You WILL need the exact driver, and you need to be aware that many USB flash MFR's do NOT support win98….and those that DO only support win98SE.
