For people with Win 98.x, is there such a thing as a universal thumb drive driver set? or do they need to download and install drivers for each brand of thumb drive friends bring over?

I have to install the driver for each different brand of USB flash drive I work from. That's one reason I'm thinking of finally upgrading my last 2 Win98SE boxes to WinXP Home...better USB support...and better stability.
Oddly enough, the external USB hard drive enclosure I just put together gets recognized as a USB storage device in Win98SE without the need for added drivers.

Generic USB mass storage driver for Win98 (http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=218601)
I found this posted on another forum that someone had written. I have not tried it and have no idea if it works, but give it may be worth a quick virus scan and a shot. HTH
edit - I found that one quick by googling "generic USB mass storage driver windows 98" if you want to look for some more.

Thanks for the tips :)
Cricket, I'm going just the opposite direction. I'm doing a Win 98.2 spare parts build in my spare time so I can play some older games :)
PMich, I'll check out that driver, thanks.
