      USB support didn’t arrive until late in the Win95 era (and even then it was “sketchy”). But you may be able to use some degree of USB support for DOS:

      Standard disclaimer:

      Also realize that a machine that new (for Win3.1, anyway) may have some issues with running DOS/Win3x (drive size, memory, etc).
