Can a flash drive be used with a Powerbook G3?

I purchased a flash drive which supposedly is compatible with MAC OS 8.6. But when I plugged it in, a message popped up stating that the software for that device could not be found. Is there software available for a flash drive?

PowerBook G3, Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier

Thank you Niel for your response. As I do not have an internet connection on my Mac, I downloaded the software onto my PC and then transferred it to a CD. But when I put the CD into my MAC CD-ROM, I got a message stating that the disk was "locked". Do you know how to unlock it?

Drag the downloaded file to the hard drive and then open it.

Thank you again Niel, but as I mentioned, I don't have an internet connection on my Mac and I therefore cannot download the software directly into my Mac. I downloaded it into my PC and then to a CD but the Mac won't read the CD as the Mac states that the disc is "locked". Do you know how to unlock it?
