You can probably get a win98se disk on ebay


I assume the documentation that came with the card stated that Win98se or
above was required???

Philo, thanks so much for your help!

Download and install a bit-torrent client. I've been using u-torrent
recently.

Then go to one of the bit-torrent directory sites and search for win-98
torrents.

Here's a few:

http://www.torrentreactor.net/search...&cid=2&x=0&y=0

Let's try this one:

http://dl.torrentreactor.net/downloa...+CD+%2B+CD+Key

Ok, after about 1 minute, there are 82 seeders. I'm connected to about
3-dozen of them, and I'm downloading it at the relatively slow rate of
30 to 35 k-bytes per second. The file is listed as 553 mb in size.
There are about 10 others that are also downloading it, and I'm feeding
some of them at about 5 kbps. At this rate, it's gonna take me 5 hours
20 minutes to download.

The torrent is a .UIF file, along with 2 text files (one of them is the
"serial", which I suspect is the product key). Ah yes, I've given that
a high-priority and I have that file now. It's a list of several dozen
product keys.

Not sure what to do with a .uif file. I'll search the net for that.

I'm also running peer-guardian, and it's blocked the ip 212.199.248.66
because it's identified that ip as belonging to "Golden Lines /
Anti-p2p". Perhaps that outfit monitors microsoft-related torrents -
but they won't see me.

Ok, download complete.

I downloaded a UIF converter from he

http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/400...38.TPB.torrent

It's a very small (32 kb) command-line executable (uif2iso.exe). I sent
it to virustotal to be scanned, and it came back 100% negative.

I ran it and created a 655 mb iso file. I burned the file to a cd using
ECDC and I'm looking at it now.

By all appearances it's a win-98se cd. File dates are 4/23/99, 10:22
pm.

I'm not sure if it's a retail cd, or an oem cd, or some other version.
If there's a file on the cd (txt, dll, etc) that would identify the
exact MS part or product number, then let me know.

I performed a DOS-level comp command on the root directory and the
\win98 directory on the CD against an image of a win-98se CD I have on
my system and all files compared exactly (that's roughly 1/3 of the
contents of the CD).

So Normanny, go and do what I just did. You'll have a win-98se cd in
your hands (and a few dozen product keys) in about 5 or 6 hours.

Hi ,

When I see a post like this, asking for a copy of a product that is
copyrighted, I wonder what goes through the mind of that individual and the
one the is trying to help him get a "free" copy. I believe that those
individuals have never heard of, or practiced integrity and/or morals. Maybe
they do not know right from wrong. Maybe they just don't care who they
cheat. One day, they will learn what goes down the devil's back comes up his
front. In other words, what goes around comes around. He may get a copy, but
he may get an infected copy.

Maybe you should ask yourself why the manufacturer of the product no
longer sells the product.

Then ask youself what harm is coming to the manufacturer because of the
obtainment of the "free" product.

I believe that those individuals have never heard of, or practiced
integrity and/or morals.

What high horse did you fall off of?

Why can't you get it through your thick skull that Microsoft suffered no
harm, because it no longer sells Windows 98.

Maybe they just don't care who they cheat.

Please explain how Microsoft was "cheated" in this event.

He may get a copy, but he may get an infected copy.

After checking 1/3 of the contents, I'm satisfied that it was a clean
copy.

98 Guy, please leave Angel alone. Microsoft was is indeed a copy and for
economic reasons Microsoft decided to abandon the 9x source code. To this
day, I still firmly think this was a huge mistake because now hackers can
concentrate on one line of business source code and it has made consumers
activities lots more dangerous because there is not the distinction between
consumer and cooperate customer anymore. Hopefully, Microsoft will
eventually develop a new source code that is really good and has the best
elements of the 9x source code, the NT source code and perhaps using open
source unix/linunx technologies to make a really good product but until that
day we all do what we can and I cannot promote piracy even if the product has
been abandoned and you are just willing to check 1/3 of the product -- what
happens if the baddie is buried deep within the other 2/3rds in a hidden
directory?

Hi all,
Thanks for all responses! I really should have been more clearer in my
request in the first place that I need advise rather than a physical copy of
the W98se.

When I started installing my Netgear modem on my laptop with a licensed
W98se installed, there are dll's that are missing. I was hoping that there
are ways of getting this missing dll's by sending my request here.

But, thanks anyway if there are none.
Normanny.

Normanny,

They have one on sale at Ebay. I just went up there. It is Microsoft Windows
98SE Full Version W/CD Media, Boot Disk, COA Sealed. I did not catch the
price. It would not be too expensive and it would be the safest way to go.
They even have the name of the store "American Electronics Mart/DCC Inc." It
says something about an Ebay store.
