I'm guessing the reason the "select files" button doesn't work is because it's opening up a "browse for file" dialog on the computer that actually requested it, which would be the Browservice comp, not the w98 machine. So the screenshots that gets forwarded to the w98 machine only see renders of the page, not the actual desktop the Browservice is running on. And.. even if it did forward the screenshots of the "browse for file" dialog, it would display the files on the raspberry, not the w98 machine.

The question is how modern does it need to be? In my comment I discussed the possibility of using Firefox 12. That's already 8 years old but it still supports much of the web standards added since Firefox 2 (the last supported version) was discontinued.

[@aetd106]

By the way, FTP does work if you need to transfer something between a newer and older windows pc, or even between totally different os. I mainly use an older version of filezilla on the 98 machine for the best experience. And change file transfer to binary, because asci messes it up for some reason.

If you're actually using another PC as "translator" from modern internet to legacy machine, i bet you could use some Citrix-like solutions to run Chrome on Pi, displaying it's window on W98 machine. I think file upload will work just fine there. RDP session will also do the trick.
