     75 * Unlike more modern systems, Windows 98 does not come with a driver which will work with the !VirtualBox graphics card, so it falls back to using it as a 16 color VGA card.  While innotek do not provide Guest Additions for Windows 98, the Display Doctor suite, by the company !SciTech does contain a driver which will allow you to use higher color and resolution graphics modes.  Please note that neither innotek nor !SciTech support nor accept liability for the use of this suite.
