Lexar "FireFly" USB Flash Drive for Windows 98se

Hi,

I have been using a 1GB Lexar "Jump Drive" USB flash drive ("thumb drive")
for a couple years on my Windows 98se computer without any problems.

Recently, I decided to buy another Lexar !GB, but nobody sells a
Windows 98 version anymore. I don't want a used one so I took a
chance on a Lexar "FireFly" 1GB (WinXP/Vista/Mac) and I hope that somehow, I
can get it to "work" on my Win98 computer. There are no drivers for "FireFly"
at Lexar's web site. I searched the web for about 1/2 hr, and I didn't find a
source.

Do you know a technique, or a source where I can download the driver,
even if it's a Windows XP driver?

Thanks in advance, Brad

Before you type your password, credit card number, etc.,
be sure there is no active keystroke logger (spyware) in your PC.

IMHO, an XP driver is very unlikely to work in Win98SE. Here's the URL
for generic USB mass storage driver for W98 (by LexarMedia):
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~heha/hs_freeware/USB%20Mass%20Storage.zip

I haven't used this, so I have no idea whether it will actually work
for your drive.
