This unit seems to draw power from the PC. I presume there's no
separate power cord for it.

This indicates one of two things
- the USB adapter is broken; or
- it can't get enough power from the Win98 PC.

There is a known issue with many older motherboards that their USB
sockets can't supply enough power.

One possible workaround is to buy a cheap powered USB hub and plug the
wireless doodad into that.

Its also possible that its Win98se - the USB implementation in odler
versions of windows was fairly rubbish.
