Flash Memory, again
Can someone please tell me who manufactured this product, so that I can ask THEM where to find a driver for Win98 (not SE) .

Many Dell items are custom manufactured for them. That means whatever company that made it, if they even have drivers, may not work since it's a custom OEM version. It could even have been sub contracted to a company that doesn't even market USB memory keys, just custom builds them for whoever contracts with them.
e.g. The Dell branded ink-jet printers (and All in ones) are made for them by Lexmark. But, the Lexmark drivers will not work and same with the ink cartridges - that are identical in appearance but have a different "smart" chip inside to identify them.

* Try these. I cannot ascertain who actually manufactured the keys. Go here:
http://www.memorykeytools.com/
* Under Windows 98 Driver, click "Here"
* Under Instructions, click "here"
* Click Save
* Click Desktop
* Click Save
* Right click the file that is now on your desktop
* Click Extract All
* Click Next
* Erase what is there and type c:\usbkey
* Click Next
* Click Finish
* Close any boxes that open
* Insert the USB key into a USB port
* When the wizard appears and asks for a driver, use the browse button and find the LexarUSB.inf in the c:\usbkey
