Now why would you be so married to Win 98 that you would want to make your
life so difficult? If you have the hardware, what is keeping you from using
W2K or even XP on your debugger host?
If you just refuse to use the right host OS, another option is SoftICE. I
know that SoftICE works on Win9X. I also know that it supports remote
debugging. I don’t know if it supports remote debugging using Win9x as the
host.
