Unlike Windows ME, 2000 and XP which have them built in, Windows 98 requires
that drivers be installed to use Mass Storage Devices such as Lexar
JumpDrives, external hard drives etc. These drivers are generally supplied
by the manufacturers of the devices.

My question is, is there a single standard driver which permits any and all
such devices to be used with Win98 (as with the later versions of Windows),
or is it really necessary to load *each* manufacturer's driver for the
particular Mass Storage Device?

I have not heard of a single driver which does not mean there isn't one.

However, here is a link which provides drivers for most companies usb
devices.
