I am not quite sure, but this sounds like a old Intel pentium chipset and these old chipsets has problems with USB. Try to buy cheap USB v1.1 card (7-10USD).

Intel says that this mobo /yours???/ supports USB devices, but...
"Intel® PR440FX Motherboard
Yellow Question Mark Under 'Other Devices' When Setting Up Windows* 95

This device may represent the USB port. If Windows* 95 provides no drivers for USB, the USB port will show up as an unidentified PCI device. Contact Microsoft for driver availability for Windows 95. If you do not require the USB port, it may be disabled in the BIOS setup. "

Look in the BIOS, may be the USB devices are disabled ????
