Yeah now with on board devices, but with addon you can make it and even then its worthy of informs other which devices are working. I can recommend Broadcom 5721 PCI-e NIC, which can be cheaply bough on ebay < 10$.. sound card its harder.. you need some addition cheap PCIE to PCI-E bridge.. which has hassle with its placement in or outside of case.. or you need make USB working too and use USB sound card. There are some USB-2 PCI-e adapters.. but i dunno if they can work in Win98 and if yes, if they would work with USB sound card.. but its worth of try.. If want using Win98 at least some from desktop for multimedia.

@MrMateczko I suppose no sound and networking on X230?

I can confirm H67 and B75. First without native PCI, second with native PCI.. see this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets#LGA_1155 // PCI column I im not expert, but i would go for native PCI, just to be sure. There was some afraid that EFI could be problem, but on my B75 all seems to be fine. And these are also last ones (+X58,X79) with pure Dos PCI Sound blaster sound working. These board still has IDE/AHCI switch in bios, so you can use great rLoew SATA/AHCI drivers for Win98, which are now free. If you someone would to good boy he can make some summary post or online sheet with chipset table and we can add here what was tested. I managed to install Win98, up to Z170, what means that Z270 will run too.. But because of no native Dos sound in dos windom, no big deal for me.

Thanks very much.

Thanks, i had problem to find it, because Address book, when i supposed that such list would be its behind Paywall.

HimemX or Burnmem are obvisious. Are somewhere some details, about bios settings and what is working and what not? Because Ryzen MB probably does not have IDE mode, was some additional Sata controller used? Are rloew Sata / AHCI drivers working? Its possible to install vanilla Win98 SE iso (+HimemX fix in middle of install) or some mods were needed? Or installation was just copied from other machine? Was sound working with additional PCI or usb sound card? What about networking, stability? Videocards are interesting too.. i have problem no more modern Intel board with its completly ignoring Gen1 PCI-E videocards, was it working with Ryzen? Where games working, or just 2D with generic Vesa drivers? There are lots of interesting details...

Hello, is able some modern VNC package to transfer files from one machine to other? Because this was always its main flaw and main Teamviewer advantage. Otherwise is some way how to make Teamviewer working 15 on XP or we reached end of the line? I know that even with version 13 were some problems and in newer version is blocked connection to older versions, before that i was using even connection to Win98 with Teamviewer 6. Does AnyDesk (free) - has list of computer- with info if there are online as Teamviewer etc?

Vmware is running on Z370. Physical on X58 - Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5, why are you asking?

When i try to add component for example IPX protocol support on network Working instance.. i get dialog requesting the file, i point it to C:\Windows\System (or C:\Windows) and other folders.. i see in diaglog and Source is: SP3.Cab.. Destination C:\Windows\System\.* ..its also requesting.. rpcltc6.dll which is not i Windows folder.. so i point it to C:\Temp\Win98 - where i have copy of orignal Win98SE eng folder from cd. Now i get restart dialog. Network is still working, so add IPX is still safe.. Same file and printer sharing. NetBeUI - also need some file from original Win98 CD - im not really sure if need this one, if im rember is used for some Win-DOS networking, which im from time to time using. IPX - enable netbios - also some files from orignal Win98 CD directory. But when i just open Control Panel - Network and click ok - im getting again file copy dialog.. no prompt anything just some files are copied automatically (i can simulate it multiple times), its some SP3 specific behavior or sign that something is already broken? But even there network is still working, even after every file recopy. I tried to be sure also cold boot.. Im dont now too much about networking.. but maybe is something wrong with DHCP it need more time to some router session to expire and after that its maybe no able because of some bug create now connection.. Because when i comebeck to snapshot, which was yesterday broken, its now working.. its very strange, but before that, not working was consistent.. i dont believe that is Vmware bug (or snapshots are not working how i thing that they are), but i have some behavior - see first posts even on at least 2 physical machines.. But i wonder is ok rpcltc6.dll from original cd? Second my idea that networking can be broken by some installed app, is there some Win98 program to just create report of all installed apps and maybe even some system settings to compare it? Im not aware bout installation anything fancy.. before its broken, only maybe to add some network protocol and even there im not sure about it.. Only related network thing which i sure i installed is network time synchronizer (NetTime ). Update: Check apps list - only Nettime is difference, i have to test insall it again, but i doubt that it is problem. Conclusion: - That file recopy just after just open Network configuration is strange, anyway. - How can ping google.com working when TCPIP is DNS disabled its strange, its Vmware thing.. or i dont understand networking?

Ok i check driver on working and non working machine its the same one, Vmware (Workstation 15.5 - host is Win 10 1909) network configuration is same one (additions installed), its the same machine Win98 with SP3. Network configuration (Control panel-network) is just minimal: Client for Microsoft Networks AMD PCnet Family Ethernet Adapter PCI-ISA TCP/IP - IP - Obtain IP Address automatically, DNS - disable DNS (im not expert, but its strange that network is working? When i enable it give it my router IP its working too.), Gateway - eveything is empty, Bindings - Client for MS networks (checked), Netbios - setting is not available, but its checked, Wins - Use DPHC for WIn resolutions, File and Print Sharing is not checked. Can someone give the list of files or registry keys etc.. which is involved in Win98 networking to check where is the difference?

I found version of same VM where network is still working.. Its using Bridged network too. Ping google is giving me right response.. Winipcfg - is working too (renew): IP - 10.0.0.26 Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 10.0.0.138 Ipconfig is giving me the same.. So i thing that we are in good situation to debug it.. if have some ideas.

Its something diferent - Winipcfg is working - im able to load it.. but its showing - some strange IP adress: 169.254.123.12 255.255.0.0 a very strange DHCP server -255.255.255.255 Im not expert in virtual networks, but my local network is 10.0.0.x and im using Bridged networking. What is not working is Renew command it giving me - DHCP sever Unavailable: Renew Adapter. Ipconfig is giving me the same.. and Default Gateway is empty. Its matching with ping google - it gives me - Unknown host google.com There is no skip, i just select something - for example ip address only - and there is right after - file copy dialog.. and there is only Cancel button.. nothing else.

I saw on win-raid.com some claim without details, that Win98 is Ryzen is working, so maybe there is some progress?

Thanks for info. Im not sure, but rLoew(RIP) maybe also had some encrypting software for Windows, but im not sure, bad i have bad memory and of course it would be compatible with modern OSes.

I met this problem again within my virtual machines.. so its not HW related.. i has to be some MS or unofficial SP3 bug.. At 1 time i have fully working networking, after i need some small change as add protocol or something like that and all is broken.. Control-Panel networking start to behave strangly and even after some small change as Hostname, it is forcing of loading of all networking files.. and its loading tham from SP3.cab.. im quite that all is set right, but network stack is broken.. no more file staring, ping etc.. are working and im unable to fix it.. Only thing which i can do is restore old image or snapshot. If someone has idea how to debug with let me now, but i doubt that im only one with this problem..

Thanks, 4dos as cmd replacement seems to be fine. I will try manual context menu edition later- will actually try to add 4dos. I tried BackgroundCMD with Win98, im able to install, but its not working for root folders, where im getting access denied. Win95cmd - means using Win95cmd instead of Win98 - are there some addantages for that? MIntty has some special Win98 port, or actual on Github will work? On Web is XP+

Hello, i used from more modern OS to use right click context Explorer menu menu.. How to add same thing to WIndows 98? BTW what is best command.com replacement for Windows 98 SE, i tied Doskey, i dunno exactly how i it installed, or if its in-build within some patch, but it has info about Windows 2000 when its starting and its half working, i mean - TAB, Backspace sometimes misbehaving..

Great thanks, i know that i pushing a luck, but does truecrypt 1 ability to crypt whole system partition or it can with later releases?

Its inital version of Truecryot does someone have real experience with it? Can be such volume mounted at least read only in modern version without corruption?

I managed to get it working, but i was strange.. often when i booted i didnt see drive letter assigned, i have to reassign it (through This computer propeties).. I dunno why, drive seems fine, i have AMD 450 chipset, newest bios and Windows 10 1909, disk is Seagate SSHD 1 TB. I tried multiple cables, Sata ports.. normal ,not fast boot nothing helped.. when i added PCI-E NVE drive it worked fine, i tried disk benchmarks, results are file, Crystal disk info is fine, Scandisk ,newest AMD drivers.. bios always found disk during boot process, i tried to enable / disable Hot-plug. Finally i tried to Minitool Partition Wizzard and assign letter through it and convert disc MBR and to GPT(without data lost) and it seems to be working, drive letter is assigned during every boot (i tried only few, but before i never has able to make 3 sucessfull boots in row).. it needs more time to testing, but with this setting at least Xbox beta application is able to seed disc.. i had to do classic move something to it from Windows Settings storage to bless it.. but its quite normal.. after bless its working with Xbox beta an other Win10 only stuff fine.

Only C drive.

Hello, i changed HDD in my machine.. i have 1 NTFS partition on each of 2 disc. System C is working fine for everything, but D is working fine for all except Windows 10 apps, i cant change target for Windows 10 apps to it (its simply ignored in all of menus) and what is my primary problem MS Xbox beta - games client its completely ignoring it too.. and i need install games to it because of my nephews and holidays.. and on C is not enough space for games. Is there some drive blessing utility or practices to make drive good enough for Win 10 apps?

Is there something like Truecrypt for Win98? I mean some crypted file cointainer which is working as any other driver letter? Bonus would be is it could be still readed in Win 7 or even Win10, for multi boot. I found CryptTainer, but i have not any experience with it.

If you playing with multibooting on new or retro machines need lots of partitioning and backuping and restoring. I know that there are some Wiki tables, there from time to time some review and comparisons, but i didnt find anything so complex as i need. So i refreshed my old tables for it and moved it to shared only sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UwjQlp-XqYtbLk670S6DCo5LsgwyVDSu-m7xW4ZHCIQ/edit?usp=sharing // // There are two main sheets I could help you, its probable that someone has bigger experience with some particular tool and fix some discrepancies in my sheet (comments are enabled), if is someone really in this stuff or want to invest time into i dont have problem to add him editing rights. Some of there thing need some license and my trials are expired and im lazy to install them to some virtual machine or are hard to test - for example i dont have any raid in my primary machine to test dynamic disk support. There things seem to be simply, but there is lots of if.. bugs and feature, licensing hooks etc, so its not such simple, or not at least for me. Any help is welcome.

Its named gdisk, probably because of fdisk.. etc.. so it has to be use of same name or some predecessor, im not curious about it, but you can try it in virtual machine.
