A common problem.

If it were me, I'd look around for an old CD burner--local tip, op-shops, 
computer shops probably throw away dozens, ebay. You'd get one for a couple 
of dollars.

Just hook it up loose to the old computer. Presumably it has a CD 
player--you could use the plugs which feed into that. There's plenty of 
simple freeware burning software which ought to be W-98 compatible. You 
only need to burn data.

Then transfer all your stuff by way of CD's.

Forget floppies, they're too small to hold many photos. I think W98SE only 
had USB1, which is probably why the flash drive won't work.

A second method would be to upload your stuff to one of the many free 
websites that host files. Uploading would take a long time, as upload 
speeds on most broadband is a lot slower than downloads. Then download it 
all onto the new computer. that would cost nothing, and you're obviously in 
no hurry.
