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...

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:

It points to amd website and is a dead end. But Thank you.
I googled for hours with no luck, I am asking to you if you got them archived or on a cd.

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

With just a few minutes of Googling I found version 3.8 (7.94) for Win98/ME:

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:
