Thanks, Timothy. A further Q: Abit tech replied to phoned question about
board NF-M2SV, requiring a 64 bit, saying that 98SE would not run on that
board,that it needed XP files. Did he know what he was talking about, or is
it a completely different consideration? TIA for any additional thoughts you
may have.

Many recent motherboards do NOT have Win98 drivers for the onboard
hardware. Win98 may not run, or at best will use default drivers.

I'd venture a guess to say they only have drivers for that board for XP or
newer versions of Windows.

If that's the case, then no, Win98 won't work on it.
