The pitcure suggests that yhe card has an ITE IT8212 controller chip on it. Not familiar with that chip but it looks like there are win98 drivers out in the wild on some of the older driver disks.

Seems like it has a reasonbly new bios on it which is good. Helpful to have that if you ever want to boot off the card.

I bet the card will workfor you as long as your board supports PCI 2.1 or newer, which would be socket 7 or newer. Getting it to work on socket3 or 4 might be difficult.

Not PCI 2.1 - from the manual:

PCI Specification, revision 2.2

That means it probably won't work on i440BX either - at least, PCI is supposed to be backwards compatible, but it was very common for PCI 2.2 cards to only draw power from 3.3V line which is not usually present in PCI 2.1 or older buses.

If we're talking "Windows 98" as in an OP P4 or AXP system, no problem - but if we're talking "Windows 98" as in a 1998/1999 system with P2/P3 or similar, it's unlikely to support 2.2. Which motherboard are we talking about?
