Often if you go the manufactures web site you can download drivers for the sticks.

98SE was the only one to support USB.

My suggestion is this (Suggestion) look up a few of the major manufacturers and see which ones support 98SE. Buy one of theirs and download the driver and see if it works.

I have used up to 1 GB size of these sticks with great success. Otherwise if it must be smaller look around on ebay. Someone must be selling a few of these dirt cheap (even compgeeks might have them) with the price of solid state memory coming down they just get cheaper and cheaper.

Ahhh, yes, "Any decent USB drive...", this is a PNY 4GB stick.
Apparently according to the PNY website, they only support
the 128MB/256MB sticks.  I used to use a 64MB/128MB stick and
when it broke, the system didn't seem to want to recognize any
other sticks (PNY, same size, etc. - it's been years).
