The motherboard is a ASUS M2A-VM
ATI Radeon X1250 chipset
ATI SB600 southbridge

That board has an AMD 690G chipset.

You can search the internet for anything that looks like or claims to be
a win-98 driver for that chipset, but I doubt you'll find one.

What-ever you download, what you can do quickly is unpack it and then do
a file-find for all .inf files containing "chicago". You'll probably
find SMbus driver, but that's it.

The 690 chipset went into production in late 2006, which is after win-98
went EOL and so I really doubt there are any win-98 drivers.

Your best bet is to look at the motherboards listed on this page:

And download the driver file for each of them, unpack the file and look
for .inf files containing "chicago".
