can any body tell me
it is win 98 can support usb drive..
my bos ask me to put usb card to the computer..
confuse??

what do u mean by 'USB Card'
can giv more details?

IMO, Win 98 can support USB but need to install driver first..
maybe someone can clarify on this?

dun double post .yeah win98 suport usb device.usb card = pci usb card?

yes you need to install the driver. normally the driver can find in the motherboard CD

Tell him the opposite.
Tell him that windows 98 doesn't support USB.

This way, you'll have a better chance to get a new computer.

Just my 2cents though.

mmm... nice suggestion there... there's an universal USB driver for all USB devices out there but I don't know if it support USB card...

make sure your windows version is win98 SE

When you go out and purchase that USB card, check whether the manufacturer includes the drivers for Windows 98 (usually printed on the box). If it does then you would not have to use the universal drivers which sometimes MAY not work.

ya tats rite make sure its support 98..

of course can but you must install the driver first then plug-in the usb card..the rest win98 will auto detect

Yes, you can. I have a Pentium II that was recently installed with an optical mouse using a USB cart(PCI I think). So I don't think it'll have any problems with USB HDD.

still got ppl use windows 98 ar??

Haih.. sure got one.. my office has just recently re-installed windows98 wor.. (re-format)
there are now 4 PCs still using windows 98 in my offince..

My PC still using Win98, crashes sometimes.

I presume that BlindBikerz was talking about getting USB flash drives to work under windows 98, and it is a pain since most USB flash drives don't come with 9X drivers these days. Personally I would just chuck one of these modern linux distro's into the old PC, since it sounds like its nothing more than a office PC, but anyway:

There is a generic USB mass storage for Windows 98.

Disclaimer: while it works for me, it might not work for everyone, and not all USB storage devices are supported. And please, please, read the instructions, that say "remove all USB drivers" before you proceed.
