Looking for a simple, modestly priced motherboard for some legacy work. Just need to run DOS.

Something to fit in an existing system, so ideally 8 ISA slots and a "standard XT" like size or smaller.

Needs to be working, although I'm fine with replacing nicad battery etc.

I'm in the USA, although as long as shipping costs are reasonable I'm fine with elsewhere.

Thanks!

- Gary

There are almost always 486 boards on eBay, often at reasonable prices.

I've been watching, most seem to be in Russia or Bulgaria these days - or are "as is". If you do notice something that looks promising please let me know!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/181996639997 (486, looks good)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/182008936198 (386, needs new CMOS battery)
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172079095227 (he only ships to EU, I can help you buy this. Definitely boots to DOS as he shows screenshots)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/182008866508 (386, needs new CMOS battery)

The third link looks best, but as I say he won't ship outside the EU, I can help you buy it.

Thanks, I'll try to find something closer to home before I ask you to cross-ship. I also have a few auctions I'm watching.
