There were multiple versions of Windows 95. The first
versions of Windows 95 had NO support for USB. The
last version of Windows 95 and all versions of Windows
98 had some support for USB, but things like USB
memory keys required specific drivers (there was no
generic USB storage device with these versions of
Windows). It wasn't until Windows 2000 that Microsoft
got its USB support into a reasonable shape.
