Maybe, the author of the article evoked an action. Actually, in June 2008, the drivers are available for download on the web of ITE Tech, Inc. at "http://www.drivers-download.com/cn/download.php?id=86&did=19".

I've downloaded them and successfully installed. So, I now use my USB HDD on two Windows 98 SE computers. One of them is my ancient Pentium 150 with USB 1.0 (add-on extension card), the other is a little younger.
