Do you think it would be possible for me to use Windows 98 as the guest
on my Linux host? I use Qemu.

This isn't idle curiosity. I use Win98 with 20th century applications to
view/work on a few 20th century content types like Wordperfect 5.1 and
Micrografx Windows Draw. My headless Win98 box works fine, but I'm
getting tired of maintaining my stuff via KVM switch, VNC etc.

Thanks,
