Try #4 in my sig.
That will help you extract them from a working install.

If you nolonger have a working install or backup, google "vogonsdrivers"

Hi, i have various computers who use via drivers, right now i was installing windows on one of them and to get the right drivers i went to via tech page only to find that (at least on my computer) is broken
is not the first time this happens, it may be a server issue but anyway i was wondering if anyone had made a backup or archive of this
in the internet archive the copy doesn't really work, the menu system is broken
my hardware collection has many more hardware than the typical p4-era chipset with unichrome pro graphics and rhine lan, so i really need to get to these files
sadly i can't host these files by myself as i don't have a lot of hdd space on any of my computers, and also i wouldn't know how to archive them either

Do you have specific examples of drivers you're finding difficulty locating?

Between IA (ftp & http), VOGONS drivers, The Retro Web and the other main online driver resources, I can't imagine there's much that can't be located.

Phil has a few different versions of VIA chipset drivers on his website: https://www.philscomputerlab.com/via-chipset-drivers.html

for example some computers in my collection are thin clients repurposed for gaming, one of them is a dell wyse cx0, i do have the chipset and nic driver, but I don't have the audio and graphics drivers
maybe for some people these kind of hardware is not that interesting, but for me it is, so if no one has done some archiving effort, i could do it if I know how

1) Script to backup Win9x\ME drivers from a working install
2) zip
3) post VOGONS Driver Library

no, i don't have any computer with these drivers installed
that's why I was asking if anyone had done an archiving of the via tech driver download page
or if no one has done, i could do it

I’d recommend:
4.35 for AGP 2x boards running Win98 or higher frame rates
4.43 for AGP4x boards running Win98 or for better stability
4.56 if you are running XP SP2 or AGP 8x boards with PATA
5.24A is often best for Athlon 64 and late P4 chipsets with PCI-e or SATA

But that’s just a generalization and things might be different in your situation
