I bought two Seagate Cheetah drives ST336754LW, dirt cheap, and i am planning on installing Windows 98 on one of them.
The controller on the motherboard is AIC-7890.
Do i need to integrate SCSI drivers into the Windows 98 bood diskette?
I remember Windows 98 not having these drivers and i had to install them additionally.

You can install Win95/98 onto a SCSI HDD connected to the SCSI host controller without needing to pre-load the SCSI drivers. Once the OS is installed, you can install the SCSI drivers. There should be a yellow exclaimation mark next to the SCSI host controller in the device manager after the OS is isntalled. On the other hand, Windows NT/2K SCSI drivers needed to be installed during OS installation.

Plan your life wisely, you'll be dead before you know it.

Additionally, IIRC, Windows 98 SE boot/setup floppy has AIC-78xx drivers already, except a couple of models.
