as far as the ATX form factor goes it looks like the models that have a "-X" in the model name around the time period of 95/96/97 were the first to undergo the form factor switch from AT to ATX for example if u look at the Asus TX97 -- its an AT form factor with the big AT keyboard port but then the …

its impossible to find AT style case anywhere in my area. they have a recycling center in town that crushes all the used computer stuff - they have been crushing this kind of old electronics for the last 5-10 years all over north america.. so its hard to find ones that were 'saved' from the crusher …

Yes, it's a Pentium board. Afaik no 486 ATX boards exist. Are you sure Cubase Score 1.03D requires a 486 to run? A Pentium 75 is pretty slow (equal to the faster 486 cpu's), and you can make an ATX board slower by disabling the caches. Maybe this can interesting for you: https://www.youtube.com/ …

It is possible, several early ATX cases has AT mounts, but there will be a big hole at the I/O ports, unless you can find an AT backplate for ATX (almost non-existant!). ok i get what your saying.. so i might be able to attach + mount the motherboard but i would have to run it without the backplate …
