The Card should work in Windows 2000/XP, i`m pretty sure it was never meant to run inside a SS7 PC with Windows 98. The M7-P chip was released back in December 2001 when Win9x was still more common than WinXP; Catalyst 6.2, the last driver supporting this chip, was released as late as February 2005 …

Dosbox also doesnt like it. Maybe install is corrupt or something. Filename dosbox.png File size 17.11 KiB Views 431 views https://archive.org/details/geoworks-ensemble/ Disk Images are in vgacopy format. i think one could just rename them.

i used 750Gb external USB 2.0 Harddrive years ago on my Athlon XP , it was formated as One Partition. But 32Kb Clusters are really suboptimal. Maybe its a better Aproach to get something like a Seagate Dockstar and connect the Drive over Network, using Samba etc.
