Building a Windows 98 machine
Reading this post here - Windows 3.1 I decided that I wanted to build a Windows 98 machine. I certainly have to hardware to do so. The issue is getting the hardware and drivers to work with 98.
System specs are....
Abit BE6 II, ver 1.0
Pentuim 3 733MHz
512Meg SD RAM PC-133
Western Digital 30Gig HD
Creative Live Soundcard
Radeon 8500LE (128meg)
Plextor PleXwriter 40/12/40A CD Writer
Linksys Wireless Network card
Samsung floppy drive
Antec 400W PS
Antec Mid Tower case.
Some pics.....
I decided to try Wireless, so I went with a wireless card instead of the card card on the right of the last pic.
Anyways right now all the hardware appears to be working, but 98 is giving me fits about various missing files. In fact I can't boot with out a warning about these missing files, and even when I attempt to install drivers for the hardware I'm still prompted to install the 98 disk to find missing files. And in case you're wondering.... yes I have a legitment copy of Windows 98.....
So I don't know what's up right now... still a work in progress :)
