    My brother states that his USB drive requires Windows 98SE. He has Windows 98. Does anyone know of a workaround or someone who wrote a driver to make the computer recognize the USB drive under the Original Win98?

    I bought my first USB drive back in my W98se days and the drive came with a device driver loaded on a CD for use with W98se and W98.

    Here is a link to the same driver.

    I don't think it would hurt anything if it didn't work, but try it at your own risk.

    If you are afraid to try it then maybe someone else will chime in give their opinion on the matter soon.

    Thanks to James martin.
    My brother just informed me that after a few missteps,but with your help, he managed to get his flash drive to work under Win98. Thanks to you.
    I, and he, appreciate it.
