There is that package you can add (my copy is in a self-extracting
archive,
called "nusb23e.exe") that recognizes USB drives, etc. I run a number of

I managed to run Win98 SE (the Second Edition is important!) on a Core Duo
E6700 2.6 GHz with SATA. But it was a very hard job to get it going. The
motherboard still had a legacy PCI slot on it which was helpful. Here is the
procedure I had to go through.

?? 6.0 runs fine on all my 98SE machines.
If you need to get to a later Web site (many don't work with older IE's now),
there is a version of Opera (9.80, Version/10.63) which works under 98SE and
makes most sites accessible.

I managed to soak up extra memory when installing 98SE by using
Japheth's HIMEMX driver, coupled with XMSDISK:
In AUTOEXEC.BAT:
SET TEMPDRIVE=S
SET TEMPSIZE=768000
C:\XMS\XMSDISK\XMSDSK %TEMPDRIVE%: %TEMPSIZE% /y /t

I am 0 for 3 in having IE 6.0 work on my Win98 machines. Just can't connect to

what's wrong with me... I'll try Opera, thanks for the tip.

Does anyone have a PDP-11/03 or LSI-11 with the KEV11-C CIS
(Commercial Instruction Set) option? It may have also been known as
DIS (Dibol Instruction Set). It apparently consists of two microcode
ROM chips (MICROMs), 23-004B5 and 23-005B5.

That is the same as Unofficial SP2 3.52 (the version you linked to is a bit
older). It seems to contain a number if not most of the fixes
