Which netbook can work with windows 98 properly?

[1am]

If you have installed successfully windows 98 into your netbook (e.g. HP2133 mini-note, Dell inspiron mini 910, Asus EeePC 901, etc.) and it works properly, would you mind share your experience with us?

I'm working on Windows 98 on a Asus EEE PC 900.

It works, but a few features are not available.

Graphics: VBEMP9x driver

- The native 1024x600 resolution is available.

- Some minor DOS window application related issues

- No Direct Draw support

Chipset: Intel chipset utility.

LAN card: Atheros NDIS DOS driver.

Wireless: I have not tried this one.

Web Camera: Did not tried to use it.

Sound: No driver available.

Power management: It is possible to enable ACPI

- Limited selection of the ACPI button events (no suspend option).

Just to keep things as together as possible, here is the thread where Sfor is detailing his progresses with the EeePC:

Quit yelling! It will not help you and is likely to get you ignored!

A couple years ago, I bought two new HP 2133. Price was really good ($200 each?). They had 512 mb ram, 4 gb SSD drive and SUSE linux.

I replaced the SSD with 160 gb seagate drive, formatted it as FAT32 and tried to install win-98. At the time, I didn't get very far (I don't think it fully installed) so I gave up and increased the ram to 2 gb and installed XP on them (but kept the drive as FAT32 and made it dual-boot DOS/XP). If I were to try again, I'd use the win98 setup switches to bypass ACPI.

One thing I found strange about the 2133 is that you can't set the correct date and time through the BIOS. Don't think I've ever seen a BIOS where you couldn't do that before.
