Can you point to the URL? The MS page is worse
than the IBM page. So far all I see is:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/choose.asp
and that is for multifunction cardbus support.

you have the OSR2 supplement for USB in your add/remove programs box in your
control panel, you'll do fine. A good way to go shopping is to choose a product and
email the support department of the manufacturer for details. They'll tell you if the
product has any problems working with 95b. Whatever you do, don't buy that worthless
win98 upgrade kit. I've heard horror stories of all data being lost, and a minimal of two
installs to make that kit work. Do yourself a favor, and pick up a full version of the
second edition of win98 and install fresh. Just save your data somewhere and start
fresh. Best of luck.
