Default (OT) Portable USB drive (makes no sense)

Any OS will "look" for a driver in the "usual" places (likely folders)...if it doesn't find a driver you have to point it in the right direction...on the USB drive itself.


If you can do that (point the OS to something on the drive itself), it
seems that you don't need the driver.

Win98 had
fairly good USB support...95 did not.



A lot of USB stuff I got around that time (when Win 98 was new) had
separate driver disks for 95 and 98.
