locate and load some generic ones for the Win98 machine. Needless to say, having
gone through all of this, I found the Win98 CD the next day.

IMNSHO, there are -very- few benefits to using winME. Unless you
specifically need one of them, or set up to "boot to dos", you're
better off to stick with win98 SE. The CDs are usually available on
ebay and in computer junk stores, and I'm sure an ISO image of them is
on bittorrent somewhere (assuming that you have the license:-) ). You
can also download the MS-DOS install floppy images from quite a number
if sources.
