I just picked up this motherboard and I am trying to find the motherboard audios drivers for Windows 9x, 2K, & XP. Any help would be appreciated.

Nice find! Because this isn't a Premium board from ABIT, it's a bit harder to find information about it. The "manual" states it has "Intel 82815E (MCH) + 82801BA (ICH2)", so an Intel AC'97 driver from that time should work.

Unfortunately it doesn't mention which AC'97 codec is soldered to the board...could you pls post the printing from little IC between game port / audio connectors, AUX1 and PCI1? Maybe there's another driver from the AC'97's manufacturer.

If it's an AC'97 codec from Avance Logic (ALS, now Realtek), it should work. But then, why not taking the latest version A4.06 (could be found here: https://soggi.org/drivers/realtek.htm)?

The lettering on the chip says:

ALC200

The ALC200 is an Avance Logic / Realtek AC'97 Audio Codec, so you'll be fine with the latest Realtek AC'97 drivers from my page! 😀

BTW please note, that you'll need an .7z compatible (un)packer like 7-Zip to extract the files.

The WDM drivers would not load, but I manually installed the Windows 95 drivers and those are working just fine. Thanks for your help!

No problem, you're welcome!

BTW if you need the latest BIOS 8D for your ABIT SL30T (supports HDDs up to 137 GB and above, fixes some STR [Supend To RAM] issues), it's available on my ABIT motherboard BIOS page -> https://soggi.org/motherboards/abit.htm.
