I don't have it, but I was looking for something similar yesterday. You can find version 3.1 and older on oldapps.com. I finally had to install 6.2 because it was the only 98 version after 3.1 I could find.
Unfortunately 3.1 doesn't recognize my 9800xt, neither 3.2.
You can find both at k6plus forum (google it).
Need 3.8!
There has to be an archive somewhere...
😢
Do you know the Date when it was released?
Then i will have a look at my pcplayer, gamestar DVD Collection
Probably August 2003. 😉
Why go that far back though? The oldest driver I use for a R300 or later card is Catalyst 4.2 and that's only for KOTOR.
Here i can download the 3.8 version:

No, they are for xp, it' s a mistake.
I need 3.8 for a socket 7 board. Anyway I will gladly accept 4.2 also, but I really need 3.8
What about the Win9x Omega drivers? The site seems a bit wonky at the moment, but the download link still works:

Yes I had installed them but they are not stable at all.
I need ancient vxd drivers.
~ At least it can do black and white~

I googled for hours with no luck, I am asking to you if you got them archived or on a cd.
I see 3.9 on guru3d (win xp section have 98 drivers)
Can you download them? No.
Thank you, I appreciate, really, but I did it already lot of searching.
I have encoutered hundred times broken links, if you find something please verify.

The link you gave me is for 3.9 rev5, a sort of "mixed" drivers for particular platform... No go.
Thank you anyway.
On a completely unrelated note, why do you want to run a Radeon 9800XT on a Socket 7 board? Those platforms have horrendous AGP performance and it'll probably be more effort than its worth.

driver should be good, the mixed part is control panel and XP, I think anyway.
Asus also have 3.9 (7.95) 98se and the link works
https://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/A9800XTTV … pDesk_Download/
see if it works with your card,
With just a few minutes of Googling I found version 3.8 (7.94) for Win98/ME:

E-mail AMD support; I've done this a few times for specific old versions of Catalyst. They usually reply within 48h with either the file attached or a direct link to the AMD FTP.
Any chance you can go with XP instead of 98?
I found Guru 3D a great resource.
You can browse back in time, and early drivers see to support Windows 98 as well. Worth checking it out:
