"98 Guy" "98"@Guy . com wrote in message ... Bill Cunningham wrote: 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. Bill |

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. |

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.
