This might souund like a stupid question, but I must get a definitive answer to it anyway. I would like to purchase the Lite-on LTR-52327S but I need to make sure that it is compatible with windows 98 (1st edition). The lite-on website shows that it is compatible with Windows 98SE only. I have looked at the product descriptions on a bunch of retailer sites and some say win 98, and some only say win98SE. I e-mailed lite-on but haven't received a response. If someone knows the correct answer to this question it would save me alot of time. Below is a paste from the lite-on site that I am looking at. Thanks in advance Specifications * Speed : 52x Write CD-R 32x Rewrite CD-RW 52x Read CD-ROM Speed * Interface : ATAPI / E-IDE, support up to Ultra-DMA Mode2 ( 33.3MB/sec ) * Transfer Mode: Support up to Ultra-DMA Mode2 33.3MB/sec (UDMA-33) * Access Time : 100ms ( typical ) * Buffer Size : 2MB * PC Required : Pentium 355 MHz or faster CPU, 128MB DRAM Required HDD must have access time < 20ms, with a minimum of 100MB of free space * Compatibility : Windows 98SE/NT/ME/XP/2000 * MTBF (Life) : 70,000 Hours
More than likely it just hasn't been tested on 98. Just 98SE. I couldnt see any reason why it wouldn't work with 98.
