It works
I use dos on a old pc of mine  
If you are looking for a full ring dos mode, not the striped down win9x dos mode    
try dos 7.1

It is free and quiet nice and has a lot off cool software with it

burn dos 7.1 to disk
boot up the pc
put the disk in your cd-rom drive
you may need to set your cd-rom drive as the boot first boot device in  your BISO  
install dos 7.1 it will detect win98 and let you a choose a boot option
for it
