There is some discussion about running an iPod with win98se here:

This win98se update is suggested:

- It is worth a try!

Failing that, you could consider linux, which is much more likely to
have a good variety of drivers and software, and which wont swamp your
old box.

You are not the only one who still uses win98se - I do too, although in
all honesty, I have become quite dissatisfied with it of late. - I just
don't want to give Microsoft any more money ;)
