  If I had to guess:

  1 is a dvd drive.

  1 is a high speed cd-rom read only drive

  1 is a cd-rw drive

      I had a drive with that feature. I think i used it once. It was way slower than a sharpie

        Ha! I used it TWICE!

        Also, to OP, that definitely wouldn't have come OEM on a PC that shipped with Win 98.

    Seems to me that you are right with that. The top one reads data in lightning speed. The middle drive doesn’t seem to work saddly and the last one got a fat DVD logo on it so im guessing thats right

      That’s not an optical drive friend

        for windows 98 technically needs the startup floppy disk to even start the installer
