well unfortunately i was installing a new motherboard and re-using the
hard drives... was hoping not to have to re-install my OS... but nothing
i tried from the MS article worked...

fresh Win98SE install... now hunting drivers...

enough for tonight though...

thanks

well yesterday the gods smiled upon me... i wiped the hardrive and
replace the Win98SE install... then deleted IE with IEradicator...

i found drivers for the sound card and the display... now the computer
is able to support up to 1600x1200 resolution... tho not on my current
monitor... hey i needed to go shopping anyhow

!~)

the sound is back... but is crackly... i don't really need sound on that
computer...

in my device manager there are two remaining yellow ? marks

PCI System Management Bus
PCI Universal Serial Bus

the computer works as is... for my needs... although it'd be helpful to
get the USB working...
