Donna - No, it doesn't. Many (if not all) such readers come with drivers for Windows 98, but you would also need an optional USB card installed in the computer. My old 98 system had such a card and I was able to use a CF card reader in it quite successfully. ----- Original Message ----- From: "donna brown" <dandmbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2006 8:37 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: windows 98 Walt, A little off topic, but does that mean a compact flash card reader also will not work on a Windows 98 computer? Thanks. Donna
