Operating of RAID-ed drives in DOS mode is possible, but if writing is attempted it may corrupt the entire disk. I have tried only P-ATA devices (three 250 GB hard drives are connected). VIA VT6410 SATA/RAID controller works properly.

The driver for Realtek ALC codec (integrated) is not stable, but I don't care as I have a good sound card (Yamaha YMF724). They have limited DOS memory to maybe a megabyte or smth, but it is OK. However, two different models of ATI X550 do work properly. nVidia's tech support (after complaining a bit that they do not make video boards) told me to stop using this obsolete operating system.
I have tried Geforce 6200 PCI-E and its driver was very unstable under Win98. Then I tried some old S3 Trio64V+ PCI board and it works fine in 1024x768x16bit. I tried Nvidia 6200 Turbo Cache PCI-E board but it even does not work as Standard PCI VGA, it works as standard VGA only (again 640x480x4). If anybody has any (better) experience please let me know.

I plan to try also next generation motherboard, Gigabyte GA-8I955X Pro with Smithfiled processor but I don't expect big differences.

I did this test just to see how easy it is to operate Windows 98 SE on newer motherboards with Intel chipset. Maybe somebody was able modify some existing driver to work or has any other workaround. Intel ICH6 HDA controler + Realtek ALC880 codec
Intel 915G(M) GMA900 Graphics controller On-board graphics controller works in VGA mode only, add-on PCI board works correctly SATA disks in legacy mode and PATA disks in native mode works perfectly, but not concurrently.

The box I tested had 1024 MB of RAM and it was not necessary to do anything special to install Windows 98 SE from the original CD-ROM to this computer. This board contains also two Marvell 1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers - the Windows 98 SE driver works fine, but sometimes it was not able to obtain the IP address from DHCP server, but there is visible delay also in Windows XP on the same computer. The codec used is Realtek ALC880 and Realtek also offers no solution. It seems there is no support for HDA bus in Windows 98SE, Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) High Definition Audio class driver is available for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000 only. If PCI-E graphics card is inserted, it is switched off automatically, but if PCI graphics card is inserted, it is still present. There is no possibility to switch it off manually. It can work as standard PCI graphics controller in 640 x 480 x 4-bit resolution only. Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900 It means that PATA devices are served by ESD_506.PDR, and SATA controller has yellow excalamtion mark - therefore all disk drives connected to SATA ports operate in compatibility (16-bit) mode. In this mode both controllers work in native mode. The PATA devices are disabled in this mode!ģ.
In this mode the SATA controller operates in legacy mode, Windows 98 SE see SATA disks as standard ATA devices (ESDI_506.PDR driver) and with enabled DMA the tested transfer speed was upto 135 MBps. In this mode just PATA devices are recognized, ESDI_506.PDR is used and speed upto 100 MBps can be achieved.Ģ. It can be switched (in BIOS) into three modes:ġ. It contains standard ATA100 interface suitable for connecting of two PATA devices (HDD, CD-ROM) and SATA controller for connecting upto 4 SATA devices. Without any driver, all 8 USB ports are fully functional in USB 1.1 mode, I tried OrangeWare driver (version 2.04.0.0) that is necessary for motherboards with ICH-4 and ICH-5 southbridges, everything looked fine, USB2 EHCI controller was found, USB2 hub was found, usbview utility shows USB2 controller+hub with 8 ports - but it is not switched to USB2 mode. This is officially supported in version 6.

I have tried to install Windows 98 SE on PC with 915GM Speedster-FA4 motherboard made by MSI and I'd like to share my experience and ask if anybody got better results with motherboard based on Intel 915 series chipset.
