Looking for an AT SocketA motherboard

[networkman]

Yeah, odd request I'll admit, but I've got a bunch of SocketA cpus and a CDRom server case that's designed to take an AT board; I'm not opposed to just modding the case to accept an ATX board, but I'd like to exhaust my options before getting out the Dremel and cutting in.

So any ideas? Basically, just a Baby AT board.. at this point, I don't care what, if anything, is built on board, don't care what chipset, type of ram, etc. Just needs to be "AT" and accept a SocketA processor, the faster the better! Thanks!

networkman, you madman, what are you up to now! (as if I couldn't guess)

Too bad you're not after an AT-format Tualatin board edit: looks like it's a Coppermine board, not Tualatin.

You'd be better off looking for a S370 board for PIII and Celeron Coppermines, there are/were a few AT boards for those. There is/was only one Athlon AT board that I know of (PC Chips) and finding one is next to impossible.

There are two in fact - PC-Chips M812LR, an all-in-one w/ SiS chipset, graphics, sound, LAN, modem integrated, and two PCI slots; Jetway 849BS, a plain ALi Magik1-SDRAM board, sound onboard, three PCI one AGP.

Thanks to you all! Now to find one of 'em.

I have a PC Chips M812LMR etc (all in one SIS 730 chip- display,soundnlan,modem) that has been great. I have a 750 Duron running XP & 256mg RAM. It limits you to SDRAM & only accepts Athlons to 1.2g on a 200mz bus.
got it from www.wiredzone.com. They are getting hard to get.

PS- I use it as a second system for my daughters. I like the HEAVY guage steel case that I can sit or stand on.

i too was looking for an AT Socket A mobo. couldnt find one and had to switch to an ATX case because of that. Those are incredibly hard to find. GL in finding one.

PC-Chips items often go anonymous or by store brand. Just search for M812 or M812LR and nevermind the badge.

I am in a similar situation. I need to upgrade an AT box that has sentimental value. It appears that the only two options in the market are the EPOX:3VWB+ (S370) and the PCCHEAP M812LMR (SockA).

I think the EPOX may be a better choice(reliability), but it is a 100FSB board, so my question is

Is it possible to find S370 processors in the 1-1.2GHz range at 100FSB?

I am affraid that if I buy a 1GHz PIII all I will get is a 133FSB
