I checked SIV->Graphics report, i could be problem, that there are not listed 1 and 4 bit modes? So no 2 and 16 color mode in the driver? I dont understand, how is text modes embedded into normal VGA mode (if all data are rendered as graphical standard VGA mode), but if its something like Picture in Picture (in games we are name it embeded viewport - 2 rendering areas in 1 view) - this could be why its not working. I found info in SIV by accident.. On system were is working table looks like this(picture) and on systems were is not working are no check on 1 a 4 bit column.. What exactly and i need to add into system.cb for that?

Just for fun i tried in last days my main rig: Z97 MB - Asrock Z97 Extreme4/3.1 (i let USB 3.1 PCI-E 4x USB 3.1 board inside) GPU Geforce 970 4GB - just for fun Storage - 2D memory card in SD to IDE adapter - through IDE to Sata adapter.. - a bit wild i know, but it worked - Rloew Sata patch + Rayer Himem patch. - USB keyboard on USB2 port + PS2 mouse, only one 1 PS2 port, Y PS2 bios support is in the bios.. i havent proper USB to PS2 adapter for my keyboard.. and second thing is that when is Y cable used Del for bios is not working.. - BIos all on except all Sata controllers switched to IDE. For installation i used my USB flash guide - i you know find it here. Because board has not USB Floppy emulation for USB mass storage, i had to install to on flash C: and after first reboot i cloned usb flash to SD card - and cleaned thing needed for USB boot.. After 1st crash, i installed Sata patch + Himem patch and adjusted Autoexec, Config and System.ini - reboot Install continued fine, so crashes etc. I just LoneCrusaders *.inf for intel chipset during installation wasnt detected anything (inf were in C:\Win98 -install directory), i had to copy *.inf files to already installed system and refresh for detecting right names, it worked, only on desktop Core 4th gen some things were detected as Xeon 1200 platform. Results: - installation was fine, except too much memory fix and sata fix, only glitches on video card - all important devices, except USB were detected through installation or after by INF - system was stable - with Russian Bear drivers was videocard running fine for DirectDraw games - i tried even OpenGL Mesa wrapper, Unreal Tournament was playable in 320x240 with OpenGL, 512x384 too slow, but it worked only with Vanilla DirectX, after DX9 installation it stopped to work - i dont tested sound at all - USB controller were detected, but no drivers at all, i disabled USB 3 on Intel controller in the bios, after installa of usb 3.5 were controlelles and devices installed, but after reboot explorer started to be very lagy and freezes i tried it multiple times.. Bios USB settings (its for Multiboot.. so i let Asmedia USB3 enabled, Intel USB2 port would be enought for Windows 98): Issues: - when storage card is on Intel Sata port is not something detected after reboot, probably some timeout, in real usage, would be replaced by some proper SATA SSD - when i connect Storage to Asmedia Sata port, Safe mode is working, but normal not i got C: writing error .. Probably other Rloew bug / catch, i did all by book, purged controllers, installed Sata patch, normal boot, Sata controller detected, reboot crash, with driver in DOS mode its running fine.. Everything what worked for Intel Sata.. But i have not time do full reinstall on Asmedia port, i switched it after installation. - integrated USB - no go with nUSB3.5, devices detected, but system was very slow after that, i have tried all bios settings PCI list: List of device with INF files: No infs: Detected USB, but as i said, after reboot it whole system was very laggy.. Uknow devices: I wonder only about PCI System Management - that wasnt detect for like SM controller by INfs, its quite usual device. PCTV 73e is TV dongle, USB controllers are Asmedia USB 3 that is ok. Other pictures: VBE Gaming (i dont know why, but i wasnt able to force proper 4:3 scaling on monitor, monitor supporting it, but choice wasnt avalaible maybe colide with other active option):

Did you tried multiple GPUm best some old PCI 1-4 MB videocard? As i wrote try modern 32bit Windows to see much memory you will see there, i have X99 board with 924MB of ram in all 32 bit and MSI support finally trying to make new BIOS to fix it.

Here it is, system.cb CTRL+G - nothing or its too silent, i have found a bit damaged pc speaker, computer that beep is quite silent on it. SYSTEM.CB-AMD970-160GB

I did lots of experimenting, i have not time for reporting.. but few main things: 1) At least on 1 machine a find root cause of microfreezing - Anvir Task manager free - it looks nice, show nice thing, but its broken, so it wasnt drivers thing, but on unraid machine, when i had freezes too i have this thing never installed and microfreezes were fixed by USP3 .. On last freezing machine is this SW installed too, but i had to fix boot with AHCIBIOS - its now booting only into Safe mode. 2) I have tried on AMD970 and X99 machine AHCIBIOS patch, i wasnt able to boot with it, without parameters, no controller find, with NOINT boot freeze, i getting even freezes in Dos command prompt boot option i just tied cd directory.. i got freeze 3) Here some logs and pictures from AMD970 + 160GB installation. I found in Device manager some problems (which i dont have in my imported AMD970 old install - which is now probably most stable..), i thought they are clasical missing drivers, but i have there some conflicts. On old installation im conflict free, but i have also USP3 installed - i dunno if it matters for it, but even components names are a bit different.

How to fix these conflicts, in Windows 95 was possible change some adress range manually, but in Win98?

Or thanks, sorry i didnt get original wording.. So were could be problem with command.com in safe mode? Its clean installation, 2 different, both with Geforce 7950GT or with VBE (it means Radeon X1300 not supported Win98 card). When i trying to start command.com - i when safe mode warning, i click OK and whole screen is getting black, like would try to run not in windows but in fullscreen, it seems to, that machine is still running, but monitor is black.. Is there any dos command for example to play PC speaker sound to test that otherwise is computer working?

Oh sorry too many machines, only 1 here, but i device manager i none, i never managed to detect it. I never saw any device errors on this board, only "clean" device tree, if is not detected it cant report errors, no USB at all is correct.. Standart VGA is detected ok. Brigdes you can check pictures above only generic ones, no PCI BUS etc..

Its only second not used controller, i was just trying AHCI patch, i will write details to our patches thread. Mistake only 1 controller. So explain me why they arent recognized and i did at least 2 installations, so no some cosmic error, i also did hardware tree removal a redetection multiple times..

There other know limitation of 82.69? Couldnt be that safe mode bug be fixed? I never did anything with SYSTEM.CD, how to use it for Safer mode?

Its 50$, what about something cheaper for PCI-E and NEC, its possible too? Like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-2-0-PCI-Express-PCIe-card-6-external-2-internal-USB2-0-Ports-NEC-Chip-/222614849630?hash=item33d4e1085e:g:swAAAOSwrGFZk~Dz Its not cheap, but i not 50$.

Thanks i will try it.

Of course.

I just need Virtual cd/dvd drive emulator, other than Magic ISO virtual drive, what you are recommend?

See Bios and Dos mode from Windows 98 is working, but i start command.com from Windows 98 im getting black screen, even safe mode. Maybe its drivers bug, VBE drivers has thing as known bug.. so it could be same with UND 82.69..

LoneCrusader: Its clean installation, only INF were added later. Ok can we do something to fix ACPI enumerator, or this board is dead end? SIV or Unknow device identifier also dont see any other devices than already installed.

Ok, i will response in Win9x compabitle thread.

I tried and nothing changed any new device at all, but i dont thing that plug and play or PCI bus is working properly with this board and bios for Win98.. When i cleaned whole device manager and reboot no device detection at all, i can detect some very generic devices set only, any specific intel device number etc. Its very strange that PCI bus device is not never autodetected between this set, something wrong with it from WIn98 point of view.. Here are new device detected after addition of PCI bus: - im sure about Enumerator, it could be detected before. Ignore rest i did this picture during device removal process.

My X99 has DDR4, just type of ram is not problem, problem is modern wild bios, i have too 920 Mb in any 32 bit, i wonder how much RAM will available in 32bit Win 7 / 8 on this Ryzen system.. Its a bit wild, but you could install it from USB by my method.. But i doubt that it will fix setup start crash, but 5,10 minutes to test it..

Through add new device wizzard, add from list - System device - PCI BUS device No only message that device is working properly. Yest it was. Already did, no change. Here are new device detected after addition of PCI bus: - im sure about Enumerator, it could be detected before. Ignore rest i did this picture during device removal process.

Guide dont speak about it, im dont missed something, its possible to apply these patches later after installation and yes what is the best way, just copy them to Windows/inf folder? Ok, found this in the readme.

Its quite old does it means and non bugs found in 2 years, if yes its great job. I didnt get one thing in description is something like that INF patch is visual only just right names in device manager, but if is see pictures above its looks like that devices as PCI, USB etc.. really working?

Cant find post number, link on post 31 has not link, there these last one? INTELINF_9.4.0.1017_98SE ? - 2015-01-06

Could you just share ebay links pleas? Which driver you using, I have tried nUSB3.6 on Z97 no luck. Had some many MBs some practical reason, or its just a hobby? About what about AMD boards?

You never know if Rloew dont have another patch in the pocket.. but HDMI audio in Win98, i dont believe that it will work. Solution is USB audio, i didnt try to find smallest USB audio card, but could small as old volume controlls for discman and walkman..
