You would probably lose :-)

In general such w98 drivers are intentionally tied to specific ID of the device (VID/PID pair) so they do not conflict with other ones (as suggested by Microsoft in this example driver source). Some are also somehow HW specific so they don't work even if you tweak install ini file and add IDs of your device. I have tried and failed at least with one such driver.

Those drivers mentioned above seem to be extracted from Windows Me (Me has generic usb storage support like w2k too).
