saw a add for a mini pc which is a 1gig usb stick with win 98 on it £14.95.
so you can transfer files etc to different pcs but surely it wouldnt be entirely suitable for other os or would it?

Do you mean a USB flash pen?

You can buy these and format to what OS you are using?

Thats a little pricey as I bought a 4 gig Sony in Tesco for £25.I can format it to what ever I want to as in 98/XP/Vista.

yup i call em usb sticks so is there problems using 98 to save stuff of say xp or vista.
not that im going to buy one as i can get 1 gig stick for £5.99,upto 8 gig for £39 and put os on myself as i have 98se and the dreaded millenium gathering dust
