dosemu does this pretty well.  It should be doable.

I don't understand your first sentence, but I run vmware on a dual
PPro 350 and win98 is reasonably responsive, though not great.  Yes,
vmware sucks up 100% of a cpu when running win98.

Has anyone else noticed that if you suspend win98 in vmware, and then
try to resume, it can take a really long time to restart?  It takes
several minutes on my box.
