If you do a google search, such as:

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=ic...earch&meta=

it appears that there are some ICH8 components with win-98 drivers.

Is there a single intel chipset utility file for ICH8 that might (or does) contain some win-98 drivers?

Is there a modded driver file somewhere?

For example, on this page:

http://www.xpvistaworld.com/intel_r_ich8_f..._2_2841_643.htm

They show this:

Intel® ICH8 Family PCI Express Root Port 2 - 2841 driver
