Socket 370 mobo sourcing help

[APE992]

Looking to finish putting together a nice old school box for games as well as tools/hardware I use that aren't compatible with modern serial and/or parallel port applications. Kinda hard to use an ISA card these days right? To preface: I know what I want and adapters to USB are not going to work for some of this stuff unfortunately so we do things the right way.

I've got a 1.4ghz Pentium III-S to use for this build, one of the last made and probably one of the most potent available. What I want is a mobo that supports 133mhz FSB and has ISA/AGP slots at minimum. Being able to hold more than 2gb of ram is nice but it seems very few, if any, chipsets actually supported more than that. Given I'm only going to run DOS/Windows 98SE/Windows XP and some flavor of Linux I don't think that will be of much concern.

I do have an existing Dell machine with a fairly feature rich mobo inside but the caveat is that it uses a half height case forcing me to find half-height video cards. Very few were made by comparison to full sized AGP cards (it would appear the Dell supports 4x for sure and possibly 8x) and I can only seem to find cards based on the GeForce FX 5200 GPU which leaves much to be desired though a huge improvement over anything onboard.

I haven't a clue if such a mobo exists but I'm hoping someone here has something helpful locked away in their head.

There were some VIA based 370 Socket boards that would accept up to 1.5 GB of RAM. Most Intel chipsets would stop at the 512 MB mark. Only server-class, dual-socket boards were able to utilize 2GB+ of RAM (like Tyan).

Intel pro's:
* better performance / stability / compatibility

Intel con's:
* 512 MB memory limit
* No ISA slot

VIA pro's:
* ISA slot
* 1.5GB memory support

VIA con's
* performance slightly worse

I have both makes in my old-skool collection. 512mb is enough, although, if you plan on running XP with some Antivirus... the additional RAM would be essential. It's a mixed bag, really. I keep one Via based Gigabyte model, just because of one ISA AWE64 sound card (The PCI version had some problems).

Here's one on eBay. But you need to mod the processor to work in this board. Or use a converter. Or just get a pre-modded processor ($10-20 on ebay). Only 694T chipset supports Tualatin on VIA, 815EP on Intel. I've used converters on others, work fine.
