Just to add a second opinion -- Rainyd is correct. The drivers that ASRock provides are nothing really more than the bare chipset drivers that are re-packaged with their own logos and verbiage.

Indeed, using the standard chipset drivers from either NVIDIA or VIA would allow those motherboards to work correctly (and normally) on a Windows 95/98/ME platform. The only detriment would be the missing UAA audio driver, which is not actually supported (as RainyD has mentioned in his last post)

This is exactly what I mentioned because RainyD did not mention this in his first post.

There are either boards that are fully supported in Windows 98SE, it means ALL hardware components are supported, or boards that are supported partially only. Partially are supported almost all today boards, missing drivers are sometimes for High Definition Audio, somentimes for SATA controllers, sometimes for USB2 controller, sometimes for integrated graphics, etc.
