Memory Sticks

I'm looking to get one of those flash memory sticks for uni etc since i'm travelling from home.
But i'm not sure if the ones on sale now...(pny/disgo/iomega etc...) which are designed for USB2.0 ports can work on the USB1.1 (old ones) ports without the need of a driver, since the uni administrator wont allow anything to be installed. Anyone able to help?![:p :p](https://community.themix.org.uk/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/tongue.png)
I've already checked that they dont need drivers for windows ME so that's sorted.
Thanx in advance

And, all the memory sticks I've seen need to temporarily install some drivers on the computer in order to work.
Windows 2000 picks up the pen drive fine, but it's annoying having to go through the eject hardware wizard every time I want to unplug the disk.
LOL! Anything is better than Win Me!
afaik all usb micropen drive yokeys should work aslong as the computers are running Windows 2000 or Windows XP Home/Pro...
