Hard Drive info tool for Windows 98

[flibberdipper]

I was wondering if there was a tool like Acronis Drive Monitor, but for Windows 98. The more advanced, the better, I guess, as long as it isn't crazy. That about sums it up.

For my old computer.

It doesn't work. And SpeedFan doesn't tell me enough to begin with.

What would you say to someone that is still using "mission critical" software that only works on DOS, or DOS based versions of Windows, and requires a serial port?

That's actually pretty cool.

True. I use it to play all of my old games. A laptop with a Pentium II 400MHz, ATI RAGE LT PRO 4MB video card, and 64MB of onboard RAM. Beautiful. And it only cost $2.50 for me, when new (in it's config) it was in the couple THOUSANDS of dollars.

Until you actually have to do it.

I'm part of an agency that uses radios that have to be programmed with software that uses a serial connection and we use Windows 98 to run the software.

You know that they have hardware that emulates that.

We have one person that just loves to use Windows 98 in a virtual machine.  And have you ever tried to convince lots of people that they need to change from something that barely works to something that will costs thousands more?  It's not easy.

I'm talking about physical hardware that lets you program various arm, pic, axe etc. chips though usb serial emulation.

My school district has a shitload of Dell OptiPlex 760's, and then there's my school with about 30 2010 iMacs. Considering how much of a step up from Windows 95 and 98 machines.... It was pretty easy when they did the renovations to the Elementary schools and the junior high 5 or so years ago. Then they tore down the old high school and built a new one in 2010.
