a 386 desktop running Win98SE (first version to support USB)
Hang on a minute.
[1] Win98 on a 386? Really? It might work but it will be horribly horribly slow.
Win95 was just barely usable on a 386; I benchmarked it at release.
[2] I don't think I ever heard of a 386 with USB, or a 386. with PCI
slots to add a USB card.
[3] Win98SE was, I _think_, maybe the first version to support USB _2_
and maybe the first version with USB key support as standard. This
needed a driver on original 98.
However it 100% definitely was _not_ the 1st ver with USB 1 support.
That was Win95 OSR2, a.k.a. Win95B, in about 1996.
