USB mass storage devices didnt exist when Windows 98 was released -
which is why you need a driver to get it working. As for any Linux
variant just do a 
tail -f /var/log/messages
and plug in the USB disk. It would tell you what all was detected
including a mass storage device which will be a scsi device. Usually
desktop's wont have scsi device therefore sda1 should be the default.
