A 3.8 Ghz Pentium 4 and fully DMA-compatible ISA slots seem to be possible now...

Its a motherboard running an Intel 865G chipset, with the ISA DMA compatible ICH5 southbridge. Its got onboard 100Mb ethernet, two SATA ports, a compactflash slot (That takes up the slave on the secondary IDE channel) An AGP 8x slot, 4 PCI slots, and 2 ISA slots. It supports 800Mhz FSB Pentium 4s in LGA775 sockets and it'll take 2GB of RAM. The only downside is the ZIF-style Floppy connector, that it will only take 1 floppy drive, and that it will not take any flavor of 5.25" floppy drive.

Found one for sale too. No idea on the reputation of the seller and this site, and the nearly $400 price tag doesn't help matters...

Wondering if the CPU multiplier and FSB can be lowered (underclocked)?

The BIOS does allow for the multiplier to be changed, but the FSB is locked to what CPU you put in, so 533Mhz, 800Mhz, or nothing else. At the least, you can disable both the L1 and L2 caches.
