Or use the older 2.x series (like I did), since I didn't have to remove all
the existing USB drivers as "required" by the newer 3.x series, and felt
that a safer approach. (it was recommended in both cases, however, but I
just didn't feel like mucking around with it).

John,

Some time ago I installed the nusb33e generic USB drivers, and haven't had
to bother with finding specific drivers (or modifying INF files like you
have). And yes, I've used several different brands and sizes after that
:-)

Hi,

I am a big fan of the Lexar USB flash/thumb drives and Win98se OS.
Note: I also like WinXP.

Over the years, I purchased several Lexar USB flash drives, but in
order to use them on my Win98 PCs, I first use WinXP and "USBVIEW".
I believe USBVIEW is on the Win98 System CD, but if you can not find
it, it should be easy to locate on the web.

I launch "USBVIEW" via "RUN". Note: You can create a
shortcut icon for your desktop if you prefer.

You will see a list of USB related ports. Look for the one that
has a connected mass storage device and select it. Look for
"idProduct" (PID) and write down the number (ex. "0xC753").
To confirm you are at the correct place, the "idVendor" (VID) should be
"0x05DC", just above "idProduct".

Using a text editor, open "JDUSBMS.INF" (part of Win98 driver files)
and search for that PID number without the leading "0x", ex. "C753".
If you find it, then you do not have to add it to the list (2).

VERY IMPORTANT:

If you have to add it, make sure you add it at the bottom of the
list(s). There are two lists where you have to add the new PID number. I
use copy and paste to make a duplicate of the last line in the list(s).
Next
I change the PID in the duplicate (last line) to the number I wrote down
(ex. "C753"). Note: In the first list, the PID is in two places in the
line. In the second list, only one place. I also change the description
in the last line of the second list to reflect the type of Lexar drive,
ex. "TwistTurn".

Years ago, when I bought my first USB flash drive (Lexar), I
downloaded
the Win98 driver from their web site. I don't know if it is still
available
there. Another place to check is http://members.driverguide.com (free
membership).

If you are unable to locate a Win98 driver for the Lexar flash
drive(s),
I have uploaded mine to my dropbox/share folder. The .INF file includes
a list of many different Lexar USB flash drives.
