drivers for old motherboards "but where's the best place to look"?

[dr emulator (madmax)]

hi guy and gals i've just been given a motherboard by sir_real,
only thing is it's a JET WAY Socket 370 663AS Ultra - motherboard

now i've looked on the official website for drivers to no avail,
so where the heck do you guys look for drivers ?
and could i get away without them if i'm using windows 98 ?

why do i want an old motherboard? well i've tried microsofts virtuall machine and by god was that hard to setup needing a floppy drive (which luckily i had) and ofcause a windows 98 disc, sad thing was the virtual machine was based upon a oldstyle graphics chip, which only had 4 mb of ram
so it wouldn't run alien vs predator (which is why i need an old machine)

anyway here's a picture of the beast

yes that is a isa slot at the bottom

please help

it tries to connect to the page but doesn't, i've tried firefox and chrome all to no avail

although i will try via arena ,

please remember i'm used to just going to the manufacturers site and downloading things



now i did come across a page (link isn't on this pc so i can't quote it)
but i don't trust the source "looks dodgy"


anyways back on topic

where's the best place to look"?
