USB flash memory
I'm sick and tired of using floppy disks, so I've decided I'd get myself a USB flash memory storage device.
Since I'm gonna be using this on public computers in a library, I wanna know are they truly plug & play (plug & start downloading) or do I have to install drivers for them from Windows?

I read that most of them simply appear as an E: drive as soon as they're plugged in.

Yeah, you just plug them in. I don't think they work with Win98 though, at least mine doesn't.

I've found that most common makes work with Windows 98 but you will have to download drivers for this OS - they won't be recognised without drivers.
For Win XP and Mac OSX, flash drives are pretty much plug and play.

Yup. They have Win 98 on all of the comps in the library - tried it, didn't work. Will have to download drivers, just like you said. Thx again, guys.

Win98 does not have embedded USB drivers while Windows XP and its SP1 version only support USB 1.1 .
