It's possible to install most any x86 OS on any x86 system. The hard part is finding drivers for the devices in your system. From looking at HP's support website, they don't officially offer drivers for that system that support Windows 98. Your best bet would be to do some research with Google, and see if you can't download drivers from some 3rd-party that will work in 98.
By the way, what's so "cloak and dagger" about the whole situation? :confused:
