Great you figured it out. maybe you could try a pci add-on usb card to use the thumb drive, check the listed ones here: Which USB 2.0 cards for old motherboards
Thanks mate! Hey hold on.. i actually have a PCI-USB card!! 😮 gotta find where i put it but should be right here in my room between the box-o-stuff things. Nice idea!
But...didn't them need a driver? Or better, i can use that card to install\use USB without it takes all those precious IRQ that the motherboard does? Sorry but im so noob about it...bad part is that being a PCI card i have to put the sticks behind the case, which is a little bit uncomfortable (i was using the front two usb's ports of the case, with that grey cable that goes directly to the motherboard)
Will try to find that card and post it here so maybe i can find the drivers, hoping it will work for Win98! Thanks 😀
