Yes, I've installed win-98 on a system with the Asrock motherboard -
specifically the DUAL VSTA board (intel CPU, Via PT880 chipset. I've
since bought what I think is a revision to that board, the
previously-mentioned 4core Dual VSTA, which I believe is basically
identical except for supporting the quad-core CPU's.

I don't know the vintage but I have found a board that supports
WIN98:

I'm curios to know if it's still in production or what it's
vintage is. Perhaps you might know?

The board supports Athlon and Sempron (socket 754). I'm not that
familliar with AMD CPU's, but the Sempron was the successor /
replacement for the Duron. Word of the Sempron first emerged in mid
2004, and it probably started shipping in August or Sept 2004.

The board uses the Nvidia Nforce 3 chipset, which appears to have
win-98 drivers.

You should make sure you can get a socket 754 CPU to go with that
board. I did a quick look and didn't see anyone offering such a CPU.
If this is true, then you'd have better luck getting a socket 939 CPU
(if you stick with AMD). You might want to look at this board:

It uses the ULi M1695 chipset, which seems to have win-98 support:
