I imagine SOME of the tools will work, but some won't, and some won't
even be necessary.

While there are certainly some OS specific tools on the device, the real
tool is having the ability to get in 'live' and do 'snapshots' without a
reboot that would prompt for 'activation' passwords, or worse, waveoffs
for wipers and destructive utilities.

As to 98, unless it is '98SE', it won't support the device anyway, and
even 98SE might require drivers and a reboot. At that point, the best
choice for an investigator is to yank the plug live then pull the drive out
and use a forensic interface to snapshot it, then put it in an evidence bag
and not touch it again except to maybe make more snapshots.

Even WITH the tool, it's still be advisable to yank the plug and
snapshot the drive.
