3 optical drives? Why?
If I had to guess:
1 is a dvd drive.
1 is a high speed cd-rom read only drive
1 is a cd-rw drive
Oooo lightscribe!
I had a drive with that feature. I think i used it once. It was way slower than a sharpie
Ha! I used it TWICE!
Also, to OP, that definitely wouldn't have come OEM on a PC that shipped with Win 98.
I still have a spindle of Lightscribe cd's around the house somewhere...
Seems to me that you are right with that. The top one reads data in lightning speed. The middle drive doesn't seem to work saddly and the last one got a fat DVD logo on it so im guessing thats right
1 3.5" inch Floppy disk drive (720 KB and 1.44 MB)
That’s not an optical drive friend
for windows 98 technically needs the startup floppy disk to even start the installer
Depends which version you have - there is at least one official Win98 release that had a bootable CD.
Yes
