Hi there...

Windows 95b does support USB, although not as well as Win98., (some say). I
have one computer here that's running an Intel Create and Share cam thru
the USB port with 95b. If you would like to try it before you go out and
spend cash on a new operating system, the files are on the win95b setup
disk. I don't have the disk handy, but navigate thru he disk with explorer
and you'll find a USB folder... just run the .exe

You'll also need either the built-in USB ports or a separate USB bracket
and connector to plug into if you don't already have one. Also, run thru
the motherboard manual to see if it has a USB connection on it.
