Socket 7 mATX is your best bet IMO.

Was the ITX standard even around back in those days?

Sounds like you basically want an old Neoware thin client. The CA2, CA10, and EON are probably the best-suited models (each with their own minor advantages and caveats), and they're pretty common and cheap on eBay.

Most of the VIA Mini-ITX boards from around '05-'06 supported Windows 9x and had PC/PCI and Distributed DMA support. That might be as close as you can get.
