Default New PC, 98 with old BIOS

Play all you want, you aren't going to get anything decent out of 9x on that
hardware.

No, there is no "download' to upgrade Win98. To get from Win98 to Win98SE,
you have to buy an installation CD, just like you did with the ME Upgrade.
You can go to EBay to find one. Note that the OEM offering of Win98SE cannot
be used to Upgrade and must be clean installed.

YOU ALMOST CERTAINLY CANNOT RUN ANY KIND OF WINDOWS 95, 98, 98SE, ME or
NT (maybe even 2000) ON THAT MACHINE! I can almost guarantee you that.
You need drivers and there are no such things. They've never been
written.

But I do like to experiment with these things. Not very clear in my query
was a request, as to whether there is a link to specific downloads
to upgrade Win 98 from my original CD, to a 98 with all the warts from
its original issuance removed. I could not find such on the Microsoft
download site, even thought there are specific places to click for
Win 98 downloads. I have installed Win 98 in VPC and I would like to
remove the warts before I install ME, using my 98 to ME CD.
