Re: Pen Drive & Win98

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

USBSTOR is a generic device class, I know of no vendor-specific drivers for
USB storage (if it is not combined with MP3 player or camera). All USB pen
drives are controlled by the same driver.

OSes later then Win98 have the USBSTOR driver in the OS itself provided by
MS. For Win98, try searching it on the web.
