Sometimes, yes. Being compatible with XP doesn't make the device incompatible with Windows 98.
* USB keyboards and mice work fine. * Most older sound cards (say before 2004) should work fine. Some RealTek integrated chipsets may still work. * Ethernet cards should work. * Wireless-G cards should work. I am unaware of any "N" cards that support Windows 98. * Older video cards (before 2004) should work. Very few new ones do. * USB Flash drives and external hard drives work if you install a driver in Windows 98. Drives over 127 GB will give you problems. Windows 98 cannot read NTFS-formatted drives without extra software.
* 56k modems should work. * Bluetooth is extremely iffy on Windows 98; don't invest any money in a dongle if you aren't sure it will work. * Most new USB printers do not work. * The Nintendo wireless adapter for the DS does not work. * SATA drives do not work unless the BIOS is switched to legacy mode. * Windows 98 cannot read HD-DVD / Blu-Ray discs. The drives will still work fine for reading DVDs and CDs.
