Check out this site. <http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=91> Do a search on the forums for Native USB. Some clever person figured out how to "transplant" the Windows ME USB support drivers over to 98SE. Why? So that any device that meets the "USB Mass Storage" specifications will be truly Plug-n-Play with 98SE. That leads to a more stable system because you no longer need a unique manufacturer driver for each USB device you use. (Things like scanners, printers, speakers and anything that's NOT like a "disk drive" will still require their own drivers.) But wait, there's more! Even more clever people have figured out how to "transplant" over 600 system files from Win ME and Win XP SP2 into 98SE. Why? To make it faster and more stable, assimilating the better bits of later versions without adding the not so good "features". You'll need a Windows ME CD-ROM and download the Windows XP Service Pack 2 "redistributable" or "stand alone" installer. It's huge, but handy to have on a CD-R for any XP box you encounter that hasn't been updated. (Especially if it only has a dialup connection!) I'm going to try all that on my PII 300Mhz laptop that only has a 6.4G hard drive and 128meg RAM. It will be total Fandemonium!
