What is the largest Hard drive usable with win 98 and can you change it as you do to use more ram than is designed into the sofware code.

I'am not 100% sure, but if you instal a patch from Microsoft, you can use the max size currently available, but you'll loose performance due to cluster size. If you instal the 98 OS to a relatively small partition, this won't happen.

Check the Microsoft website for details/downloads, etc.

I don't really know what the limit is, the largest I've tried is 120GB, that worked.

Why would there be a limit?
