SD card reader for Windows 98

Does anyone know of a currently available SD card reader that will work with Windows 98? The computer with which I wish to use the card reader has a USB port but it is not USB2. The computer is not connected to the internet so I cannot download any driver - ie the card reader has to work with WIndows 98 without any additional sofware (unless the software comes with the reader, eg on a CD). Am currently using Sandisk 5 in 1 but its connections have gone faulty. The version I have appears to be no longer available and those advertised support only USB 1.1 or above using Windows 98 SE or above.

Fit a usb2 card to your pc for about £5 then use any card reader you like.0

I found this one, but there's a fair likelihood that you may have to download a Windows 98 SE driver from a website - can you do this on another PC, or get someone to download it for you?
Later: The fact that your PC only supports USB 1.1 shouldn't matter - you will get a message saying that "This device would run faster if you put it in a USB 2.0 port", but that is a statement of the obvious, and of little relevance when you don't have any USB 2 ports!0
