     What you need are DOS drivers for your CDROM. THe NOSPIN website has a
universal IDE CDROM driver that works with most IDE CDROMS. If you CDROM is
of a different interface you will need the DOS drivers for it. I am
surprised that the win95 drivers do not work with win98, I have found that
many win95 drivers work fine with win98 (heck I even have win3.1 drivers
working in win95). Hope this helped, TTYL
