Sandsk cruzer driver for win98FE

I remember looking for drivers for a Sandisk cruzer a year or two ago.
I found one page that had somebody modify some older ones to support
the newer ones. He had a link for 98SE and for 95/98. I now can't find
the page in question. Can anybody help me find this page with Sandisk
Cruzer drivers for win98 first edition?

You may be referring to the Maximus Decim "unofficial" USB mass storage drivers.
For Win98FE, they require you install an "unofficial" service pack firsy, and I feel
that is not the best choice.

For Win98FE, therefore, I recommend using a different driver, from the Italian web
sitr wintricks.it

It is not installed beforehand like the Maximus Decim driver; rather you point to it
when Windows first detects the inserted thumb drive, as you can see from the
pictures on the web pages, even if you cannot read Italian.
http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98.html

Although the pages are in Italian, you can look at the screenshots on some of the
pages to determine how the driver is installed and uninstalled:
http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98.html
http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98_2.html
http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98_3.html
http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98_4.html
http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98_5.html
The Download link is the "Download" button on the last page.
http://www.wintricks.it/download/wtgenusb.zip

Basically, you download the driver package (.zip file), and unzip it to a folder
where you plan to store it on the computer. Then when you insert your flash drive,
Windows will detect it and give you the option to find the driver. Choose to have
it look in the folder where you unzipped the downloaded files, and it will see the
..inf file there and install your flash drive.

You can use this same .inf file to install other flash drives and USB mass storage,
so save the .zip file somewhere safe and store the .inf file in a permanent location
of your choice. I use the hidden Windows\Inf\Other folder, but you can use whatever
you like.

Hear, hear. That's a good dirver. I use wintricks USB driver on
Win98FE and a Win98SE with little, or no, problems.

The accompanying documentation is in Italian, therefore I don't quite
understand, but this little driver is small and does NOT disrupt
anything else.

If we're voting here...

I have Win98FE on one machine and Win98SE on another. I see little
difference in functionality between the two. Historically mucking
around with the OS has caused huge problems, so don't like to change
something unless I get something in return. As I said, I see little
difference in functionality, so there is not any discernible reason to
change.

There are some advantages to SE over FE, but relative to the question at hand, it is
not particularly relevant. The driver I suggested in my reply works as well with FE
as it does with SE. Installing SE will not provide any drivers for this or any
other USB mass storage....both versions of Win98 require third-party drivers. The
only advantage to SE in this scenario is supposedly better USB support than FE, but
I can't say if that's a factor on a fully updated FE installation.
