USB question

[undyingking]

Does anyone know how to tell whether a Windows 98 installation includes USB support or not?*

I have a vague memory that USB support was included in W98 SE and also in SP2, does that sound right? But should there be an easily-spottable item relating to it in the control panel, or the system properties tab, or something like that?

(This is for a relative's PC at some distance from here, as you probably guessed.)

* There are no prizes for saying "Plug in a USB device and see if it detects it," because the PC in question has no USB ports.

Pretty sure it did. I had a Sony Vaio with win98 and that used USB devices quite happily.

Mm, but I remember that my first W98 PC didn't support USB until I installed (IIRC) SP2 -- so I'm hoping there's an easy way to distinguish.

Hrrm... now I think about it further, my Vaio might have had 98 SE which bibliogirl suggests did have USB support.
