The latter first- go to Lucent's website and use their software; the airport software will never work on the 1400. One Lucent tech told me to use a slightly older version than the current one, with my 1400, but I'm not where I can check what I have installed. You need VPC 4 for using Win98, I believe. Hard to tell since connectix support for older versions is nonexistant. Don't bother emailing them to ask they'll just send you a from letter rejection. But I'm pretty sure that's correct. I don't think much of connectix anymore, they've changed a lot as a corporation. I've bought VPC 2 and upgraded to 3,4 and won't be buying any more, even though it's handy to have. Are you using a disk image and VPC from a desktop installation? I think not as VPC really shouldn't support Win98 very well. To get my Win95 disk image onto the 1400, I just installed VPC onto the 1400, then copied my working C and D drive images from my desktop, and told VPC to use them. I use VPC 3.x with Win95/OSR2 on my 1400/G3 400/ 60 RAM. I tried to put VPC 4 on, so that I could load Win98, and it would not run as even with a minimal extension set I didn't have enough RAM for it to be happy (VM doesn't count, it won't run without "real" RAM available). Gone are the days in which you tell it how much to use, it dynamically allocates it as it sees fit. I would look for a cheap VPC 3.x copy, it's alot nicer than 2.x IMO, and you're pretty much stuck with Win95 on the 1400 unless somehow someone with 64 RAM is able to get just over the edge, that I can't with my 60. With 48, there's just no way. If someone has different experiences, I'd love to read about them.
