Windows could care less. It matters on the motherboard, any extra controller
cards and power supply limits. Currently in one of my 98SE machines I have 4
HD's, 1 CD-ROM, 1 CD-RW and 1 Tape drive.

There is no practical maximum AFAIK, but W98 can only handle 24 partitions.
The drive letters C-Z. Your CDROM(s) also needs a driver letter, which
diminishes the number of partitions.
