I have Windows 98 computer, and wanting to use a flash, jump drive, etc., on
it, but it doesn't work. I know I need a software driver so this process
could work with such devices on the Win98. Does anyone know how/where to
get or download the driver from?

USB version 1 drivers were built into Win98 when first
on the market. Then USB version 2 came out, the main
reason for issuing Win98SE. You could try the generic
driver at http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/kb/usbmsd98.php
but no one can guarantee it will do what you want.

Win98 has USB included...
check to see that you have USB enabled in the bios
 
Re: Looking for USB ver 1.0 driver for Win 98

If your USB is working then it isn't the USB drivers you need. If the flash
drive etc you are plugging into the USB doesn't work, then you need the
drivers for that device. See if this helps (but be aware that drivers for
USB devices for W98 are hard to find).

Nate,
You HAVE TO download the driver for that device. You will find the
directions to the website for that driver on the package and instructions in
or on the package. We had to do this when I bought the flash drive. I do
hope you saved the package with the model and the website.
