The USB drivers go back as far as XP typically, but not much further (and it has to be USB 2.0 for 10/100, and USB 3.0/USB-C for gigabit). We have a second network we add via USB - although it is convoluted and we are moving away to simplify the

The RTL8153 is directly supported under Win7 x64.
My ASSumption is the W98 box shovels out 10Mbit, the RTL8153 changes
that into USB. What could go wrong?

Get an Ethernet switch ($20 - many people are throwing old ones out; I have a box with about 15 - 20 of the things) - get rid of any need to have a crossover cable.
As said earlier, USB-to-Ethernet is going to be based on the USB version on the W9x system - find a PCI USB 2.0 board that has Windows 98 drivers and your issue is closer to a solution (the USB-to-Ethernet will also need Windows 9x support) - the

Nothing... what you describe is a pretty standard setup. USB ethernet
dongles are generally trouble-free. I use them to create a simple and controlled environment for firmware development.
Crossover cables are history. Nearly all modern ethernet devices support auto-crossover.
10 Mbit won't cause any trouble either...
Tom, though 10Mbit is so 1990s,
it sure beats the stuffing out of ZEERO
Mbit/s. Potentially orders of magnitude cheaper than a 5 port AnywhereUSB.

IIRC that was W95 OSR2 ("B"-version) or OSR2.1
It worked. Somewhat. Mind you, USB was still pretty new and not very
common.
Plug-and-play was pretty ambitious, but still worked sometimes.
Disconnecting USB-hardware without notifying Windows first ==> unplug-and-pray

The biggest issue I see is that the SMB networking in the Windows 7
system probably will not want to talk to the SMB networking in the
Windows 98 system.
You /might/ be able to beat Win7 into submission by tweaking settings / disabling encryption / etc.
You might want to plan on something other than SMB transfers.

A factor for Louis using the USB-to-Ethernet adapter as a second NIC on his Windows 7 machine will be that SMB1 would be enabled globally on the system - including for the primary NIC uplink. It would be nice if it were per connection instead. Having agood firewall that is locked down can lower the risk of SMB1 being opened, however.
