Not that I know of, but you can usually count on chipsets that were available before the OS version was launched, as well many 2D cards and NICs. In my experience, though, the Trio64 driver that ships with Win98SE is somewhat slow, and the system became snappier once I installed the Win95 one. So the system having the driver built in doesn't necessarily mean you'll want to use them.
Worst case scenario you can probably just install 98SE in a VM, go to the Add Hardware wizzard and have it display all available drivers.

Pentium with S3 Trio and Sound Blaster 16 for example.

Intel PRO/100 is very good choice for win98 PC (if you need LAN).
All i430 series motherboards should have built-in drivers for the chipset and most integrated devices, i440 series as well.

As alexanrs has mentioned, most hardware that what was around by the time that Windows 98SE was introduced (which was on May 5, 1999), would have drivers that is included with Windows 98SE.
For a broad summary of what is supported, refer to the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_98#Windo … _Second_Edition (the Windows 98 Section Edition section)

However, my experience is that the drivers included in Windows 98SE (or any Windows version for that matter) are just stock standard drivers to get your hardware working (without any additional functionality or features).
The drivers released (an updated) by the manufacturers sometimes includes additional functionality, features and also bug fixes.
A good example are your graphics drivers released by your various manufactures. With the stock driver, you rarely have additional tabs under your Display Properties but, if you install the manufacturer's driver, you do get those tabs that offers additional features (settings).

Whenver I installed Windows 98SE, I always made a point of updating my drivers to the latest version for compatibility & stability reasons, as well as bug fixes.

Intel motherboards up to pentium mmx , cirrus , S3 and some cards with pnp from that time should work out of the box

98SE's hardware driver database felt more like early 98 to me. I can't recall it having a driver for Voodoo2, TNT, Rage128 or SBLive.

Riva128, 3dfx Voodoo Graphics, Monstersound 1 and AWE64 are the best it can get for out-of-the-box support and that definitely doesn't represent May 1999 hardware. More like October 1997, around Win98's beta periods

+1. 3Com Etherlink cards also seem to have built-in drivers and wide-ranging support; unfortunately I forget the exact model I own (and I own probably half a dozen of them). I think they're Etherlink XL. 😊

The last 98SE build I did had a Voodoo2, and it did not have drivers for the Voodoo2 out of the box. 😊

The 3Com 3C905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL PCI 10/100 cards were hugely popular, common as dirt and Windows 98SE supported them out of the box. Maybe you may get better performance from a later drive, I don't know. I don't think you want to rely on out-of-the box drivers for any kind of 3D accelerator.

My Win98SE does NOT support the 905 out of the box. I did learn yesterday though that the CD has drivers for the Matrox G100 (And a few other cards). Also surprised to find support for the Aureal Vortex, Voodoo Banshee, C-Media's joyport and some Synaptix touch pads.

I seem to think there is a version of either 95 or 98 that does not have drivers for the TSeng ET4000 out of the box.

From recent experience I can say that it doesn't support Vortex 2 and Rendition V2200 (it does have rendition V1000, though).
Maybe MS really didn't bother to refresh drivers from 98?

If I remember correctly there was drivers for some graphics (and sound) cards in early DirectX distributions. Around DirectX5, DirectX6.
Look into those archives - as Windows 98SE has DirectX 6.1

As afar as I remember, it supports 905B but not 905C-TX-M.

Just checked the DX6.1 archive. It has drivers (I remember that much), but those are not newer than the ones from 98SE.
