Can some one give a list of files, according to their sequence, that runs when a PC with WIN98 bootup?
 
First the master boot loader code is read (not an actual file on your hd, more like raw data at the beginning of the partition), which then processes the io.sys file. From there, I believe the order is: msdos.sys, config.sys, autoexec.bat, then win.com (actual start of windows itself and the end of the old DOS boot system). Now whatever gets run is kind of dependant on your system configuration. You should be able to get a log of what drivers are loaded by Windows using the bootlog option from io.sys (pressing F8 when it says "Starting Windows 98", then choosing "Create a startup log file"). If you are unable to reach the "Starting Windows 98" prompt, then most likely you have a corrupt io.sys, or the boot loader code is missing or that partition is not set as the active (bootable) partition.

    Guys just a heads up I am going to be shutting the site down soon. I am just waiting on the NUON people to decide whether they want to transfer forum data and keep the discord. My email is [email protected] for anyone that wants to keep in touch and I have a facebook too. I will make an official post later. Love you guys and will miss everyone!

    Oh no - please don't lose the Nuon content

  • The Helper The Helper:
    Someone email AtariAge and see if they want me to transfer the forum data over to it
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Could probably keep NUON stuff around here if we wanted.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm what to do about the World Editor site though?
  • Stephen Stephen:
    I'd rather personally just own a backup of the Nuon data than see it go to AtariAge honestly. If it gets enshittified as per usual, or if some of the "regular" Jaguar folks get there, it's not gonna be fun
  • The Helper The Helper:
    There will be a github of the forum data so the NUON Forum Data I guess would be available there
  • The Helper The Helper:
    World Editor is technically Ryoko stuff not mine you guys can keep that I am not in that even
  • jonas jonas:
    :( end of an era :(
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Dont think of it as an end jonas - think of it as a beginning, because really my friend that is what it is.
  • A Andyoyo:
    Thank you for the hard work over the years. It did not go unnoticed.
