Can hardware, like a mobo, interfere with win98SE?
Look for the Drives here http://www.driverguide.com/
and they have a on-line Chat there to to Help you out! "mm" wrote in message ... Can hardware, like a mobo, interfere with win98SE? When looking at some motherboards and downloading manuals and software related to them, at the ASUS site, for example, I noticed that in the process of finding the files, the computer asked me what operating system I had, and provided a list of OSes. In one case win98 was listed, and in another, it wasn't. Only XP was (and some others) Does this mean that the mobo won't work with win98SE? I asked some people and was told that the problem is getting drivers. Does that mean drivers for onboard hardware that used to me added on with a plug in card? Like sound? If sound drivers that run on win98 aren't available for a mobo, isn't it possible to disable the onboard sound and use a sound card that comes with its own drivers? It used to be one could tell in advance what he was buying and if it would work. But things are pretty complicated now. I would hate to assemble a whole computer and find I couldn't run win98 on it. Have any of you had a problem running win98SE because of the hardware used? Thanks |

Can hardware, like a mobo, interfere with win98SE?
OTOH if one wanted to run a newer OS such as XP, Win7 or Linux... Win98 could be run within a virtual machine I had a heard of that. That's a good idea. Does anyone think that won't work? Not a problem at all for W98/SE in a virtual machine. and since the hardware is emulated...most (or all) of it would work I guess I can get details when the time comes, in a year or two.
