Retail versions of Windows ME were "expansion" or "upgrade" disks for Windows 98. The version you have (the non-bootable kind) were meant to upgrade from windows 95/98 to Windows ME. They had the full install on them, but were not meant to be used as a clean install CD.
This is what adding insult to injury looks like. Love it. And the ridiculous amount of effort to get it done, condensed in 18 minutes... you have some perseverance!

You could probably take the PCI-E slot that holds the AirPort card and adapt it to a full slot to plug in a USB controller that actually has drivers for 9x. It's also possible that if your model has a discrete GPU, it _might_ be replaceable with a different card that supports 9x. I'm not sure what socket it's using, but looking at ifixit's teardown, they mention it might be standard.

My instinct would be to check if (1) drivers for older Nvidia devices might work and (2) see if anyone has made a universal driver. Then, if I was really dedicated, I might try to find a USB to keyboard PS/2 active adapter that worked with Windows ME. And then try actually using a PS/2 keyboard or mouse, depending on which was available. Also could try a USB COM port adapter. (I'm assuming you messed around with the Kernelex settings to try and get it to think that it was Windows 2000.)
so, adding a bit here. WIndows uses int13h in real mode to access the HDD. msconfig can force that (it's Force ocompatibility mode disk access) which might be making the difference TBH. PS/2 devices are emulated through the use of System Management Mode, and as long as something is polling the fake PS/2 port, it should still be sending events. Modular Windows (aka SETUP.EXE) is likely also using 32-bit disk access which is why that's falling over as well. Dunno if you tried that, but if I had an iMac, I'd poke this. Apple's BIOS compatibility was pretty garbage all around, it was just enough to start NTLDR, and I remember GRUB had to patch some things to make Linux work on Macs.
Super cool video. That virtual machine through the fire wire cable blew my mind!

This reminds me of a project where I worked to get Warframe to boot on my MacBook just to see if it would. Granted, it only ran at like 10fps, but did technically work.
the reason your retail ME disc is not bootable is because Im pretty sure it came in 2 versions, there was a "new pc" and "upgrade" version, I forget where I read but it was a thing they were doing at that time to make the cost to entry of previous owners to incentivize upgrading to this new OS.

It's truly far less stable than Windows 98 ever was (and Windows 9x was already an unstable mess compared to Windows NT) and the few new features it included, such as Windows Movie Maker and System Restore, just weren't enough to justify using it over Windows 98. All the other "new" features of Windows Me such as Internet Explorer 5.5 and Windows Media Player 7 were released for Windows 98 anyway via Windows Update. Windows Me had a very short development time and was intended as a quick stop-gap release between Windows 98 Second Edition and Windows XP for home users and that much is fairly obvious.

@@auto1lija It is true that computer manufacturers are partly to blame due to them not writing drivers specifically for Windows Me, however Microsoft still did not test Windows Me nearly as much as they did all previous, and future, versions of Windows. As I mentioned before, Windows Me only had a very short development time of about a year from start to finish - that's including the time to beta test it, and it was only intended as a short stop-gap between Windows 98 and Windows XP for home users. Because Windows Me was essentially just Windows 98 Third Edition, and it removed more than it added (real-mode DOS support being the biggest example) and often ran slower than Windows 98, most users just stuck with Windows 98 and those who bought a new computer with Windows Me pre-installed usually just installed Windows 98 on their computer anyway so they could use games and applications that required real-mode DOS.
