Does anyone know if Win98 supports USB2? I have an old laptop (borrowed from my dad) with 98 on and I need to get a USB PCMCIA card to fit a printer. However I don't think he wants me to put XP on it. :roll:

not supported directly from MS.the manufacturer of the device may provide USB2.0 drivers with its device for win98 though.

Cool. Thought as much as some of the cards advertise 98SE support. 8)

best thing to do is upgrade it to win2k and service pack 4 the bastard. it's about as hard to run as 98SE, but faster and more stable. I don't like 98 due to the bad memory management policy
