My memory is notoriously bad, but I don't recall ever installing anything that was specifically to address the FDD in W98. Looking through the files available at the Toshiba website for the 50CT: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modItemList.jsp?ProductMenu_0=Portables&ProductMenu_1=Libretto&ProductMenu_2=1073769618&BV_SessionID=@@@@1997631851.1011077681@@@@&BV_EngineID=fadcdcjkkmdmbfekcghcfmfdgli.0&ListType=Model&moid=1073769618&smoid=true&ct=DL&x=16&y=15 (hmmm have fun reconstructing that one)... I sure don't see anything there addressing this, just a file for the FDD in NT. There are 3 files concerning W98, ones for display, sound (which contrary to discussion a couple years back, I did find necessary for sound in DOS), and power. The is a W95 file for accessories... but even through it may work in W98, I don't guess that would have anything that apply to the FDD. Do you recall just what the file was referred to that you say resolved this FDD problem, and installed the fdcmon.vxd file you mention?
