WDM extender for windows 98?

I know Windows 98 works a bit differently to 2000/XP, but 98 does have some WDM driver support in the form of it's NTKERN.VXD file that gets used to load WDM drivers on 98.

Since 98 does have some WDM driver support I was wondering if it might be possible to write a WDM extender for 98 to improve hardware support like you did with XP?

Maybe figure out how NTKERN.VXD works?

Some stuff from the 98 DDK that might help:   https://ufile.io/5pokmhe8

Search for Walter Oney / Programming the Microsoft Windows Driver Model 2nd edition and source code for this book (with updates) and study how WDMSTUB works.

Kernel PE Loader supported since original release of Windows 95 (and was used in SCSIPORT.PDR wrapper first).
