you can get the drivers but I find them unreliable and slow on win98. and hardware that win98 typically runs on has the USB 1 which is incredibly slow. you still may be able to get it to work. suggest you upgrade to win2k unless you have apps only run on win98.

In that case i'll suggest you to check your hardware configuration if it will support Windows XP if it does then u better upgrade it Win XP

When you plug the drive into a Windows XP system, you should be able to get the make and model of the drive under My Computer, or device manager.

Then, go to the drive manufactures web site and download their Windows 98 driver.

Keep in mind though, that many newer thumb drives will not work with Windows 98 unless the system has a newer motherboard, or you install a PCI USB card.
