Can Windows 98SE run on an Intel I7 with SATA gard drives?

I run Windows 98SE on a 14 year old Pentium III. I have replaced the power supply twice and all three hard disk drives. It is a really good system to run the Ersatz-11 emulator for the PDP-11, specifically RT-11. Since Ersatz-11 has built-in VT100 emulation, I don't need a separate terminal

Re: Can Windows 98SE run on an Intel I7 with SATA hard drives?

QUESTION: Is it even possible to run Win98SE on a current Intel I7 CPU with SATA hard disk drives? I realize that it might be possible under a virtual machine, but I really want all of the advantages that Win98SE provides. One problem, of course, is that there must be a patch to Win98SE when

Jerome, Well, you could use VirtualBox for example. It supports even windows 3.1 as a guest O.S. Also, it's free. I would by an of the shell laptop, install you favourite modern O.S. W7, W8,1, W10, or Linux and on top of that VirtualBox. VirtualBox allows you to create VM's with SATA, PATA/IDE

The latest rig that I've run 98SE on is a Intel P3 (440GX) with 2GB of memory. I can do it, but it took the "unofficial final service pack" to reduce the amount of memory to something reasonable. Drivers, I think would be the stumbling block on modern hardware. I'd use VirtualBox in any
