in Odyssey: 1) go to Adapters item on left pane, and add ur Atheros in list 2) after this, go to Networks item on left pane, and add ur Hotspot here, 3) after this, go to Connection item on left pane, and make connection.

hi... what EXACTLY "mini card adapter" is used? what EXACTLY "hotspot" and which setiings is used? try set hotspot to GUEST mode without password.

i have Realtek 8188 and tryed run it in 9x. no chances. better find Ralink 2870 and use as 11b at 6 Mbit/sec...

open any driver inf in notepad... HKR Relative root, in which keys that are specified by using this abbreviation are relative to the registry key associated with the INF section in which this AddReg directive appears, as indicated in the following table. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/inf-addreg-directive

win9x have integrated SB emulation for own dos vm. HKR,,NTMPDriver,,"sbemul.sys" HKR,Drivers,SubClasses,,"wave,midi,mixer"

Hallelujah! i properly understand, that NOW acpioff WORK for u? yes, fdapm wait up to 8 seconds for writing DOS caches and stopping HDD motors.

win9x have not NATIVE drivers for EHCI (USB20). unofficial ehci drivers is grabbed from 2k/xp and NEVER was optimized for 9x power management.

1) u need place fdapm AND winexit.bat into windir; 2) winoff16 - it for win3x ONLY. for win9x use patched win.com; 3) acpioff work ONLY IF system was installed in NON-ACPI mode, ie with "/p i" switch; 4) if all three prev steps done - system must turn off when select Shut down here

so u need [re]FORMAT these (DMF) floppies (ie make it usual 1440 KB), or MODIFY it?

i know that some 9x floppies was formatted as 1680 KB (80*21*2*512). it easy can be reformatted as normal 80*18,. if usemore power soft, than included in 9x.

yes... but it look as very special problem, related with @Joaquim hardware or system only...

except use my ACPIOFF, which was created exactly for this issues.

read as "contains $CHICAGO$ signature"...

there is no driver for 2200BG, but ME find somewhere inf file with matched ven&dev and string "2200BG"

use latest version of MSVCRT.DLL - 6.10.9848.0. boot to pure dos mode and replace file manually. for next installations put new file in win98 folder of distr.

this is EXACTLY what do ACPIOFF.

i happy, that u solve ur problem! it very informative! now we know, that 98se2me and RevPack can cause big problems...

so it was impossible until my patch for win.com. for marketing cheats "Windows 95 is not DOS!" ms forced apm turn off procedure instead termination win.com (and make many other stup[id cheats in io.sys and win.com). yes, there is some other patches for win.com that do like exit in dos. but this patches do wrong way - they remain little resident code of win.com. my - not. if u remove or modify WINEXIT.BAT - u get true termination win.com, and pure DOS after exit, w/o resident win.com code. but if u have use usb kbd and/or mouse in windows - it does not work after that exit, until reboot.

ok, try again... in pure DOS mode: - comment or skip by F8 string DEVICE=DISPLAY.SYS in CONFIG.SYS, if exist, - remove or rename LOGOW.SYS and LOGOS.SYS files, - set Logo=0 and Bootgui=0 in MSDOS.SYS: [Options] BootGUI=0 Logo=0 - extract WINEXIT.BAT, FDAPM.COM, WIN.ENG to WINDIR, - rename WIN.ENG to WIN.COM with replace, - reboot machine - run WIN.COM: C:\>win - wait desktop, press Alt+F4, select Shutdown. now u should see black DOS screen with executed WINEXIT.BAT.

sorry, i forget - no Bootlogo=0, just logo=0...

just use other hardware. good old pentium 1-2-3 or amd k6-k7, good olg agp video, good old 14" crt 800x600, good old isa sound...

get fdapm from here https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.2/repos/pkg-html/fdapm.html unpack to c:\, then boot to pure dos mode (w/o gui) and run next command: C:\>FDAPM POWEROFF machine should turn off... if no - then u have BIG problem with legacy apm/acpi implementation in ur BIOS...

try set Bootlogo=0 and Bootgui=0 in msdos.sys, reboot machine, run my patched win.com manually C:\>WIN<Enter> and test acpioff again...

possible, ur 98 system is installed in ACPI mode. but for work my ACPIOFF pack req that system was installed NOT in ACPI mode. try reinstall 98 with "/p i" switch.

what button? just open Shutdown menu and select Shutdown.
