Jump Drives

[owls]

I am a teacher who just started a job in a new school with very outdated computer labs. We are still using Windows 95. I need to be able to store a website that I am managing on a jump drive or some other similar usb storage device. From what I have seen however, I am not sure that any of them work with Windows 95. Is this true, and if it is, are there any storage devices sold these days that are still compatible with Windows 95 (external cd-wr, zip, etc..)?

Here's a CD=RW drive that will work with Win 95, and it can be connected to either a parallel port, or to a USB port(1.1 and 2.0) for use on machines using Win 98 and later O/S's:

Well the catch with Win95 is to make sure you have version B (OSR2) or later. Previous versions of Windows did not support USB, and would only be able to use a parallel port or network connection to a backup device.

Even if you do have the right version of Windows with USB ports, there's a slight chance that newer USB devices won't work with it. Windows 98 fixed a lot of issues with USB 1.1, and many manufacturers tend to require 98 or later.
