    They don't seem to know. All they said is that they only sell the most recent version (11.3).

    I recall running Mathematica v.3 on win98, possibly even on win95 but I don't trust my recollection 100%

    Yes, I thought so, too. It might be a better strategy to install a light-weight linux distribution such as LUbuntu. Due to a comment by @J.M. to this post, Mathematica 11.2 seems to run under LUbuntu on 32-bit machines...

It appears that the last version of Mathematica to have official support for Windows 98 was Mathematica 5.2.



We can see this by comparing archived versions of the system requirements pages for version 5 and version 6.

    If 6 ran on ME there's a fair chance it would run on 98 as well. They weren't very different
