Hang on a minute. [1] Win98 on a 386? Really? It might work but it will be horribly horribly slow. Win95 was just barely usable on a 386; I benchmarked it at release. [2] I don't think I ever heard of a 386 with USB, or a 386. with PCI slots to add a USB card. [3] Win98SE was, I _think_, maybe the first version to support USB _2_ and maybe the first version with USB key support as standard. This needed a driver on original 98. However it 100% definitely was _not_ the 1st ver with USB 1 support. That was Win95 OSR2, a.k.a. Win95B, in about 1996. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 277612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053
