I'm running it on Windows 98SE and it's fine. I think the warning is due to
the need for a USB port on the PC and only Win98SE and above officially
support USB????

It's $36.

From the above page:
Important Note:
The PICkit(tm) 1 FLASH Starter Kit software will not run on Windows 98
1st edition. DO NOT INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE ON WINDOWS 98 1ST EDITION

The Zilog documentation says pretty much the same thing.

The 6.30 IDE (and I assume the 6.40, didn't check) requires that Internet
Exploder be installed, I don't recall if it's 5 or 5.5, but a fairly recent
version. As best I can tell, all it does with IE is splash up some readme's
about a bunch of USB drivers, but the install checks for IE and won't
install without it. Wouldn't surprise me if it also checked for SE or
later, but that I didn't verify.

I'd guess the Zilog kit, like the PICkit, uses a USB interface. No
support in Win98 1st edition as released (although I believe that one
can install an aftermarket USB support package).
