 There's a couple. Bochs & QEMU are two I can think of, both open
source. I'd been using QEMU for a while - no 3D, but it ran Win98 for
some old games I have.

 However, going from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 broke QEMU. My Win98 virtual
machine won't boot anymore. Very irritating. I'm still poking at it...
it looks like some underlying hardware representation changed and the
settings the hosted Win98 has won't work.

 I might switch to Bochs or even VMWare player - having something that
worked break later on is not fun.

 Sincerely,
