Default USB for IBM Thinkpad with Windows 98/SE

I have an IBM Thinkpad with windows 98/SE. I am not quite sure if it actually
uses windows 98 SE. How can I get the laptop to recognize my PNY 2.0 flash
drive and a wireless internet card? I tried installing the wireless internet
card and it needs me to use a windows 98 SE cd, where should I get this?

1. Verify the Operating System via / Control Panel / System.
2. Ensure you have the correct flashcard driver for this OS.
3. If you have no OS CD, search the whole hard drive for
files named *.CAB.

Laptops generally come with a system CD--you might want to check the CDs
that came with your Thinkpad. If you cannot find it, do a search on your C:
drive for win98_38.cab and if found, note its location and then when a
system file is needed, point the screen to the location of the .cab files.
