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.

Win98 SE supports USB (for some value of "supports" -- it almost invariably requires the installation of drivers for the USB item concerned on first use). No idea on the easily-spottable stuff, but if you get really desperate, drop me a mail and I will fire up my aged laptop and poke around on its control panel for you.

I've no idea which version of Win98 my Mum has, but it needs drivers for everything installed (Much to my disappointment when I tried to bring stuff over on a USB key, and it couldn't see it.)

Hmm, hopefully the new device my mum (for it is she) wants to install comes with a CD...
