Is there any way to run USB with Windows 95?

[Divebomb]

Erm, as the title says really... I'm on Windows 95 and I know it was only later that they added USB functionality to Win98/200/ME.

That new Microsoft Game Voice thing is USB only and I want to know what my options are before splashing out on a new OS - are there any BIOS upgrades/software patches that would let me use my USB port?

It's a long shot but I thought I'd ask you lot :) Especially as my Hard Drive question was answered with some very useful links :)

Thanks for your time,
