I've just done some quick testing of the new PCI bus on a Win98 guest.
Win98 didn't see the PCI bus at first, but running the Add New Hardware
wizard and getting it to detect new non-PNP hardware detected the PCI
bus. After installing the appropriate drivers (and going through several
reboots) it has detected the ISA bridge, IDE controller and NE2k.
However, Windows gives a warning about the NE2k at boot and disables it
- it shows up in the device manager with the (!) icon attached to it.
I've put up a couple of screenshots:

Let me know if there's any more info that I can provide. I also tried
booting a Win2k system, but it failed with an INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
error (common when trying to transplant a Win2k system in to a new PC),
so I might try to do a fresh Win2k install instead.
Thanks
