can someone point me to a url that will give me ALL the files i need to get usb2.0 working on my win98se box?
its a real pain because i have no working floppy drive and i will have to burn a cd to get the files there
so i dont want to have to be messing about.. i just want to make sure it gets done all in one go..
ive done this before but i forget what files i need etc

i got my win98se installed on my pentium III 1.4ghz machine!
im excited to use some vintage software.. but i need usb 2.0 working to put the files on the machine and
get the network adapter to work aswell etc

NUSB3.3 was enough for me.

Do you have a USB 2.0 controller on your P-III 1.4GHz?

At least you'll need a driver for your USB port (specially if you're using a PCI USB card) and that USB MSD driver (nusb33.exe) for pendrive and USB HDD support.

Other devices (gamepads, scanners, printers) will need their own drivers.

You don't. USB cards follow the UHCI, OHCI, and EHCI standards, for which Windows 98 has drivers included. I'm using a USB 2.0 PCI card made in 2014 in one of my Win98SE machines and it worked without having to install any drivers.

I had a PCI card with VIA chips (it was a USB + FireWire card). It was very unstable until I downloaded and installed the drivers from VIA web.

So, yes, Windows 98 has drivers for most cards... but remember that Microsoft drivers tends to be crappy.
