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.

98 OEM SE2 had USB support as its big feature, but is very short on drivers. Before that, it sometimes worked, but was not part of the core architecture, and therefore all drivers are one-offs.

Excellent, that clarifies it, thanks!
