Does anyone know where I can download a Windows 98 device driver for a USB 2.0 Speed Drive (128mb).
Do all drivers work for all different makes ?

Thanks in advance

You need Windows 98SE or later in order for any USB 2.0 device to work.
 
Actually, driver support for USB 2.0 depends on the USB card/controller that you are using. Some manufacturers do provide drivers for older OS's like Windows 95. Check this example:


If your PC already has USB 2.0 correctly installed, then you shouldn't need to worry about getting a USB 2.0 driver. Many USB Pen drives have firmware on-board eliminating the need to install a driver. It should just simply show up as a drive letter or "removable drive" in Windows Explorer.

In the rare case that you would actually need to install a driver, visit the Pen drive's manufacturer's website for available downloads.
