I don't think that it will work properly, besides Win98SE has some Mass Storage driver issues along with other USB related problems that make it not 100% for using with all USB devices.

The ipods use USB2 which is comparable to Firewire. In order to make use of this speed, you must have a USB2 port on your computer. I'm guessing that with Win98 you may have the older, slower USB1.
The only way to get music onto an ipod is through iTunes - which can only work on newer operating systems. iTunes acts as an interface to transfer files and to create playlists for the ipod. You might be able to connect an ipod to a Win98 machine to act as an external hard drive but you will not be able to load playable music on the ipod since iTunes will not be generating a playlist. You could load all the MP3s that you want through Windows Explorer but without iTunes playlist generation, the ipod LCD display will show no songs are available for play.
Apple does not officially support using an ipod on both Mac and Windows platforms - - but that does not mean it cannot be done. I formatted my ipod mini on Windows and I can use it on both my Mac and Windows PC.
