Driver Problems

I'm having problems finding drivers on this Win98 machine

In the Device Manager I got for Other Devices
PCI Communication Device
PCI Ethernet Controller
PCI Multimedia Audio Device
PCI Universal Serial Bus

do you know where I can get drivers for these?

You should have gotten a MB CD with the board, I suspect the drivers for any on-board hardware are on that CD. You can also visit the manufacturer's website and download them.

Note that if it's a new MB, you may have trouble finding W98 drivers, companies are starting to phase out support for W98.
