I need an ATX motherboard with ISA slots which allow DMA it must also support windows 98se. This pc will only have one program and one ISA card installed. Used is fine but I would prefer a new one. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

What do you mean with "which allow DMA"? :unsure:

The ISA card requires Direct Memory Access.

I am not sure to understand. :unsure:

AFAICR it's not the card that needs ISA DMA; it's the "slot" or "bus", i.e. if a motherboard has a ISA bus and an ISA card slot it also has ISA DMA. :blink:

SOYO P4 I845PE ISA
SOYO's website no longer exists, but these are excellent motherboards. I have several of them in my own machines.

BCM BC875PLG
875PLG Manual
This is probably the "newest" motherboard that has an ISA slot.

ISA Motherbords are still manufactured. Like these. But you must search for industrial PC's. And they have a corresponding price.

Try CraigsList - always someone trying to "unload" older PC's.

I got the BCM875PLG mobo and it works wonderfully, but it cost me a nice chunk of money. Its DMA is not exactly great, fair bit of devices I got have problems on it and there seems nothing to do about it unfortunately, but it is among the most powerful boards with ISA with working DMA.
