What is the procedure for unplugging a flash jump USB drive from a PC
running Windows 98SE? As long as the access lamp is not flashing can I
just unplug it or should I right button click on It's icon in My
computer folder and first select eject before physically unplugging it?

Thats entirely up to you, manufacturers do say to eject the drive before removing it to prevent data loss, but i know that i never do and i dont have a problem with mine
