Google for dos usb drivers.
95 is just a shell running on dos, so if you can get it working in dos,
it might be accessable in 95.
In the past I have found a number of packs for usb-cdrom interfaces.
Checking:
listing:
dosusb.txt
hd352u_dos.zip
iomega_usb_firewire_dos_driver_boot_disk.ZIP
kxlrw40an.exe
mhairu.zip
OHCImouse.EXE
UHCImouse.EXE
usb13.exe
USBASPI.SYS
USBCDROM.EXE
usb_cd.sys
Collected them but have not used them.
