I read the MicroSoft article "Using the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard
in
Windows XP" by Sharron Crawford in 2001. She mentions connecting the 2
computers together with a "null modem serial cable" with 9 pins. My old
computer no doubt has a serial I/O port, but my newer computer (XP) only has
a USB port. How can I transfer the files, if at all? I have tried using a
thumbdrive, but the older computer running Win98 doesn't support the driver
for that thumbdrive. Any clues? I am not a geeky guy, so keep it
simple....thanks!

Windows 98 USB Mass Storage Device Drivers

"Windows 98, especially in it's second edition (also known as Windows 98SE),
handles USB fairly well, however there are no generic/universal mass storage
device drivers preinstalled in the operating system, so you will need to
install some additional drivers for it.".....
"Fortunately, there are some generic Windows 98 USB mass storage device
drivers available that work with most such devices. This means that these
drivers will work with many makes and models of the following:
USB Flash Drives (also known as Pen Drives, or Thumb Drives)
