Peter,
The u sb port works in Windows 98 second edition. I am using it with the
Epson 1660 scanner. I can also use it for my mp3 player.
.
The information I got from Book Port was that it could be used with a
computer using the U S B port.
Is there a way we could find out if Book Port or Book Courier can be used
with Windows 98 second edition without actually buying one?
