A ThinkPad T42 with a Pentium M and a Radeon 7500. The goal is to get Windows 98SE installed on it, to deprecate the virtual machine that I sometimes use for nostalgia purposes. The setup is far from easy and backups are being done by archiving the entire drive on falcon, my main desktop, via an IDE-to-USB adapter I bought specially for this project. If it truly fails, I might end up installing Windows 2000 SP4 on it instead. Setup checklist - Setup - Ethernet driver (apps/setup/setupbd/w98-ws32/setupbd.exe) This was copied over to the laptop from a ThinkPad X23 running Windows XP over infrared, at about 8kbps, as neither Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB worked, and I was not equipped to try RS232. Beyond this point, files are copied via a WebDAV server hosted on mountain. - 7-Zip 7.20 - DirectX 9.0c - Radeon 7500 via devmgr (driver/9x_inf) - Screen configuration - intel-mobo - isapnp.vxd not found (CD unavailable) - 2 reboots, including one hard reboot - Reinstallation of the PCI ISA Bridge driver - IBM Battery MaxiMizer - ThinkPad Audio - 2 reboots - 2 manual actions to point to the CD - 2 file conflicts: overwrite existing files - ThinkPad HotKey Features - ADI Audio - Overwrite all conflicts with the other driver - ThinkPad UltraNav - ThinkPad UltraBay - ThinkPad Hibernation Utility - Intel SpeedStep - Screen (INF file to configure in the display settings) - 56K modem - Windows Installer 2.0 - DAEMON Tools 3.47 - Internet Explorer 6 SP1 - Opera 9.64 - TightVNC 1.3.10 - RetroZilla 2.2 - eXeScope 6.50 - Windows Media Player 9 Series - Windows Media Player 10 (98MP10FR) - 1 file conflict: overwrite - Paint Shop Pro 9 - Animation Shop 3 - [Position of current backup] - ~~Office XP~~ Windows protection error - ~~Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise~~ Windows protection error - ~~MSDN 6.0~~ - Try Unknown Devices to find the missing drivers - Retrieve msimg32.dll from Windows ME for Opera - Try to copy the 98 VM’s disk, then install the drivers - Install Microsoft Train Simulator - Install SpeedFan - Consider other Office versions? - Test USB support on a different OS
