What exactly have you been reading?


Many things. Here's something to look at.

http://www.tldp.org/LDP/khg/HyperNew...addrxlate.html


An article written in 1996 about some aspects of how memory and I/O
addressing is performed on the IBM/Motorola based PowerPC.

You might want to read this for background:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC_Reference_Platform

I don't know why you're connecting an article written in 1996 about the
PowerPC with the availability of drivers and the general operability of
win-98 on "modern" (post 2002? post 2006?) hardware.


Thanks for the link. My point is we were talking about drivers. Drivers
connect to the kernel. Windows 98 maybe component based, but a kernel is a
kernel. If you are going to use one you have a few choices. We were also
discussing memory. I was pointing about an OS's (granted not windows, but
not that different) memeory and mapping.

I have run win98 in the past. And had to gather a few stuff. So I know
it will run on the machine. I don't know about memory mapping though, or
basically how much of RAM is really being used. Or reported by the OS to
use.

btw do you happen to know where I can get an oak cd-rom driver and usb
generic usb driver for DOS and from there I can get to windows.

Bill

Ok I have found oakcdrom.sys and I'm having the devil of a time setting
it. One website says one thing and another another. If I can't do this I
can't install 98.

If we are still talking about the eMachine W3503, then it's highly
unlikely you had win-98 drivers for the ATI/Nvidia chipset, in which
case you would have been running win-98 in a "crippled" mode where most
aspects of the hardware (like USB, Lan, Audio) were simply not available
or non-functional, and your video would have been a practically unusable
640 x 480 x 16 color mode.

Also note that you wouldn't have been able to EVEN INSTALL win-98 if the
computer had more than 512 mb of ram (or possibly more than 768 mb of
ram) so if your system had 1gb or more at the time you claim to have
installed win-98, that would have been pure fantasy on your part.

it if I remember correctly wan't pretty. As I have said before things
wouldn't be able to be accessed on the machine or software's part. I know
the picture that was shown in another post LOOKS exactly like mine. You see
a bay with a cover where one might be able to put a floppy. I went ahead and
installed DOS 6.21 from a 3.5" extenal USB floppy. Now as I installed I had
to unplug the computer, reboot and do all kinds of weird things to get it in
the machine. But I did it somehow.

Sometime you have unplug
