Nope, 3.11.
You could be right.
I did. It was better than 95, and better than 98 first edition.
I was making a joke about WfW screaming.
USB drives should work without any problem at all, assuming he is using 98SE.
No, the newer generation drives, mostly 1GB and up, explicitly do not have drivers for 98SE at all. In theory, one could tweak a pre-existing driver to handle the extra memory, but in fact, a Kingston 1GB drive will not work with 98SE. That's the beauty of Windows....
Can't argue with you :-) It does seem likely, as 1GB flash drives wouldn't have been a possibility at that time. I never owned one at all until relatively recently.
They didn't work in 98 first edition, nor in NT4 or Win2000 - again, from memory, which could be faulty.
In Win2k, Micro$oft finally got up to speed and most flash drives will work with it, but XP is better.
Fair enough. Out of curiosity - do they work in W2K out of the box, or require some update? I ask because I'm considering W2K as a VM.
