AMD K6-2 Kontrol Komputer

An unusual machine from mid/late 1999. The casing looks later, but power unit is early too. The ATX casing has an atypical AT bracket which allows to install an AT-factor mainboard into ATX casing. The machine has markings from "Kontrol Komputer", probably from south-east of Poland. The hard disk is later, from late 1999.
The mainboard was popular around 1998, used with various CPUs, from MMX Pentium to late K6-2. However, with newer K6-2 it requires BIOS upgrade.

Drivers

Additional jumper settings archived from Asus webpage.
Manual and drivers in ASUS website. Yes, for Win98 you need drivers for VGA.
Audio drivers for Creative 4810 PCI with CT2518.
3C905 Win98 driver for network adapter.

Warning for audio drivers. The drivers supplied here (SBAUDIOSetupus.exe, sbapw9x.lib) have quite flawed installation. It literally rams through the system overwriting files blindly. If there is still no volume control, try to use one from Start menu. DOS compatibility is not well maintained in these drivers.
