Windows 98 SE build 2124 is a beta build of Windows 98 Second Edition, which was shared on BetaArchive on 12 December 2019.[1]
This build interestingly includes a file called osrall.csv which contains a list of binaries and symbols with paths that appear to be from the 9x source tree. This shows that the IO subsystem drivers were in a dos\dragon directory in the source tree, possibly a codename.
Unlike earlier and later builds, this one does not require a product key.

Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]
Installation[edit | edit source]
Due to the files in the win98 directory on the installation media being named in lowercase, they cannot be accessed normally from DOS.
Explorer[edit | edit source]
If reaching a system folder which is hidden to protect system files, the warning and link to show these files will occasionally not show up. Pressing F5 will resolve this.
