Now it starts to make sense... normally a USB flash drive
DOES require a driver on Win98, if not the specific driver
that came with the device then a similar enough compatible
driver. Twinmos' claim of no driver required for Win98
seemed false to me, but I didn't say anything since I didn't
have one of those products to confirm it.
