Alright, I know.... its stone age but I found a 98SE Disk in my dads disk things, and was wondering if its worth sticking on my new drive (Maxtor 120gb registers as 114gb) and run it ONLY when I wanna use my gameport wheel, Would this work? Because XP obviously doesnt get along with those things called gameports.... Found that out the hard way! If it could work I will install, in the mean time I'll keep the disk nearby! Cheers, Gunny

but anyway, be caeful, versions below Win2000 cannot read drives above 80 or 120gb. something like that.
NT definetly cannot.

Yeah I know, Well my drive should be fine for 98, But I need to get this wheel to work, I love it, and with semis and Driver 3 how do I drive? Keyboard sucks for these things, thanks for the heads up though! Cheers, Gunny

XP has no problem at all with the gameport interface. I've been running gameport joysticks on XP for years.

Hmmm weird, I cant get 98SE To start up, not a boot disk any help? Cheers, Gunny
Edit: The Setup says something about installing it in DOS.... how do you start up dos in XP? Cheers!
