Question

using windows 98

Answer 1

You have information above to help with the definitions. I will caution you that you must be running Windows 98 Second Edition for your USB to work.

Answer 2

A pen drive is usually referred to as a Thumb drive, Jump Drive or USB drive. A small device which is used storage (like a hard drive) but connects to your USB port. You buy it in a fixed size, like 128 MB or 512 MB.
A memory card may serve the very same purpose of storage (like a hard drive) but the card is typically meant to be inserted into a digital camera. The most common memory card is the SD (Secure Digital) card.
Now, you can combine the two. You can use your memory card as a "thumb drive" by placing it into a "shell" or card reader.
This way you can change the size of your "thumb drive" whenever you like.
The links below will show you the thumb drive and card reader.

Running Windows 98 will not affect the use of either a pen drive or your card reader.

Hope this helps.
