You can probably get a win98se disk on ebay
I assume the documentation that came with the card stated that Win98se or
above was required??? |

Download and install a bit-torrent client. I've been using u-torrent
recently.
Then go to one of the bit-torrent directory sites and search for win-98
torrents.
Here's a few:

Let's try this one:

Ok, after about 1 minute, there are 82 seeders. I'm connected to about
3-dozen of them, and I'm downloading it at the relatively slow rate of
30 to 35 k-bytes per second. The file is listed as 553 mb in size.
There are about 10 others that are also downloading it, and I'm feeding
some of them at about 5 kbps. At this rate, it's gonna take me 5 hours
20 minutes to download.
The torrent is a .UIF file, along with 2 text files (one of them is the
"serial", which I suspect is the product key). Ah yes, I've given that
a high-priority and I have that file now. It's a list of several dozen
product keys.
Not sure what to do with a .uif file. I'll search the net for that.
I'm also running peer-guardian, and it's blocked the ip 212.199.248.66
because it's identified that ip as belonging to "Golden Lines /
Anti-p2p". Perhaps that outfit monitors microsoft-related torrents -
but they won't see me. |

Still blatantly promoting software piracy, I see.
BTW, you bit-torrent abusers are the reason Comcast will be putting caps on monthly
downloads for all their clients, and soon Time-Warner will be restructuring their
Internet service into more expensive tiers based on monthly download capacity.

Thanks Glen. I agree with your feedback. Normanny, full legal copies of
Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition run about $50-$75 on Ebay which is a
great price for such an awesome operating system and do yourself a favor and
go legal because not only are you breaking the law with bit-torrent you are
risking even destroying your hardware if the appropriate baddie is placed
within bit-torrent. Gary S. Terhune, mvp mentioned how software baddies can
even affect hardware and I think this could be done by sending commands to
the hardware and overworking it but this is just a guess on my part.
Hopefully, you will go the legal option and grr. now Comcast is setting
limits because of the whole bit-torrent crap and yes I read that it will go
into affect October 1, 2008. Thanks for the garbage, all you who get
so-called free junk that costs everyone in time, money and expertise and
those who are trying to be legitimate in the industry without even having
illegal songs on their machines despite all the temptations out there and I
am very thankful to Apple's Itunes for the 99 cents legal songs that you can
get despite the fact that Apple Itunes requires Quicktime and you must so
frequently update it because of the illegal tying of the software and
Microsoft did this in 1998 and was investigated by the United States
Department of Justice so I ask why has the US-DOJ not investigated Apple now
for the same practices or hopefully maybe the EU will take the matter into
their hands when our US gov't is not willing to do the right thing and take
action. Just my 2/3 cents for what little it is worth.

Why is it piracy when the manufacturer no longer sells the item in
question?
And don't give me "well you can buy it on e-bay" crap. There is no
garantee that anyone selling win-98 on e-bay is selling a version that
*can* be re-sold or used according to it's EULA, or that the person
selling it isin't still using the same product key that they're
purporting to sell.
If it's a book, a music or movie cd that is still available for retail
sale, then yup, there is such a thing a piracy.
If it's any of the above that is no longer in print or being stamped or
sold, then making copies of it and passing it around is not piracy. |

Ok, download complete.
I downloaded a UIF converter from here:
LINK
It's a very small (32 kb) command-line executable (uif2iso.exe). I sent
it to virustotal to be scanned, and it came back 100% negative.
I ran it and created a 655 mb iso file. I burned the file to a cd using
ECDC and I'm looking at it now.
By all appearances it's a win-98se cd. File dates are 4/23/99, 10:22
pm.
I'm not sure if it's a retail cd, or an oem cd, or some other version.
If there's a file on the cd (txt, dll, etc) that would identify the
exact MS part or product number, then let me know.
I performed a DOS-level comp command on the root directory and the
\win98 directory on the CD against an image of a win-98se CD I have on
my system and all files compared exactly (that's roughly 1/3 of the
contents of the CD).
So Normanny, go and do what I just did. You'll have a win-98se cd in
your hands (and a few dozen product keys) in about 5 or 6 hours. |

Why Ned?
Why don't you want your posts to be archived?
God says that people who set X-no-archive are sinners and will go
straight to hell when they die.

This appears to be your first post to usenet Ned, at least using the
handle NedChristian at aol.com. But perhaps your X-no-archive is
preventing google from finding your post, even before google expires it
on Sept 6.
So I can't tell from past postings (to this or any other newsgroup) if
you're being sarcastic or not, or just a troll.
Tell us more about yourself Ned.
May Jesus protect me from those that believe in him. |

This is an error in law (for which there was little excuse since
some US publishers began to print on the verso of title pages a
legal summary forbidding "mechanical reproduction.") Copyright
is not affected by whether a work is currently in print or on sale
or not. We are free to copy non-mechanically as much as we
like, but not to sell copies, and we are not free to photocopy
copyrighted works unless the copyright owner agrees.
