Loses data when PC shuts down
using this with firewire. I'm using Win 98, second edition.
Stop using Win98, it's a crappy operating system with poor history (on-the-knee made-not-properly-designed-patch-over-the-paleolithic-MS-DOS). Use some of the Windows NT OSes - Win2000 or WinXP. -- Maxim Shatskih, Windows DDK MVP StorageCraft Corporation http://www.storagecraft.com |

The Windows 9x family of operating systems is dramatically inferior to the Windows NT family of operating systems. They are completely different (despite similarities in appearance), and the latter family (NT, 200x, and XP) is technically superior by a wide margin. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

The 'advice' to use an NT based O.S. might be reasonable but the premise of Windows98 being "crappy" with "poor history" is nonsense. It's history is so 'poor' and 'crappy' that MS was forced to extend support for years after the original EOF date, which will *finally* occur on July 11, 2006 |

I am using Win 98-SE because I need to. I have some software I must use and it won't work with 2000 or XP or Server 2003. So do I, plus some small old machines that are perfectly fine for light tasks with Win98 but that would be taxed beyond practicality by Win2K or XP.

Inferior, yes, but often this is made as some kind of blanket statement which is pretty much pointless unless it is addressing a specific limitation of the OS, a need of the user. Simply claiming to move on from 9x without specific reason is rather silly. Same goes for WinME (though my least favorite Windows), 2K, or XP onto Vista. There is no reason to believe someone using Win98 successfully without complain, has any reason to upgrade. Now moving past the generic concept to a specific scenario, in this particular case, supporting 48bit LBA would be gained by a latter version of windows and therefore within this context it makes sense- but that is not what was mentioned, just a mindless "NT better" argument which is not really true at all. If a person boots and uses 9x, makes no use of the differences between the OS(s), the theoretically better OS isn't better in any realized way. |

Also, I have some older hardware that I want to use and for some things, there are no new drivers for them. Christine Christine -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Also, suppose you want to test some network things at home. You could use all Pentium 4s with XP, or Win2003-Server OSs. But, it is cheaper to work with some older PCs for network testing purposes.
