Re: W98 and USB support

IIRC, didn't really matter at that time.

USB was still something fairly exotic and a novelty.

Keyboards and mice used the PS/2 ports. Disk drives used the P-ATA ports.

It was only at the turn of the millennium (Win ME period) when portable CD writers, USB input devices and USB modems started gaining prominence.
