Win95 USB support is good enough only for maybe a KeyBoard, > a Mouse and maybe a VERY old digital camera. Not even that. The USB patch for OSR2 is there only to prevent a yellow exclimation point on the USB controller in the system control panel. It comes with absolutely no device drivers. No mice, no keyboards, no nothing. Apparently some early HP scanner drivers could work with 95's USB. But you need at least 98 for anything else.
