Default In which folder are the USB drivers stored in 98se?

I think it's probably OK if you install it as the only USB driver, from
the start. My experience is that it can screw up a system right royally
- but, then, I did disobey the instruction to remove all other USB
drivers before trying it.

I did set up one system from scratch using Soporific's "W98 tenth
anniversary edition", which included a universal USB driver, I think
that one, and it worked fine.

personally had good results with JDUSB in Win98SE (assuming USB 1.1 and
2.0). The whole driver set consists of these three files:

JDUSBMS INF 1,403 01-04-05 11:56p JDUSBMS.INF
JDUSBMS SYS 10,176 02-10-03 1:53p JDUSBMS.SYS
JDUSBPD PDR 9,125 02-10-03 1:51p JDUSBPD.PDR

which I can send on request. Just put these three files into any folder


Yes please - see below.

you wish, and when you install any new USB mass storage device and Win98SE
asks for a driver, point it to that folder. This has worked for me with
almost all flash drives I've tried, of all sizes up to a 128 Gb SanDisk.
It has also worked with a 500 Gb external USB-connected hard drive
(divided into partitions less than 128 Gb each).

I take it this one _doesn't_ require other USB drivers already present
to be removed?

I thought I'd not bother you and just google for it, but
http://bit.ly/1nExWlm includes lots of reports of the "jdusbms.sys is a
Trojan virus whose main purpose is to open a back door and download more
files on to the compromised computer as much as it can" type, so I'm
wary.
