I have a fantastic ASUS P2Z-B motherboard Slot 1 with the capability of 150Mhz bus and an 8X Multiple. The only problem that I have with it is that it becomes unstable passed the 100Mhz bus speed with my AGP Graphics card “GeForce 2 Ultra Canopus Spectra 8800” so I'm stuck with my Pentium III 866 underclocked to 650MHZ so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a motherboard that supports Coppermine & Tualatin Capable. I don't mind if its slot 1 or PGA 370. Thanks in advance. It would be nice to have a list of these AT motherboard for people who like me would love to build an over powered Windows 98 PC in there AT Case. 😀

I have this Chaintech 6WEV0.
Its a baby AT Socket370 Board with AT and ATX power, integrated Intel Graphics and integrated Sound.
It came out of a "Photo Play Smart 2.1".
In the moment it is running a coppermine Pentium 3 900MHz.

There is a bracket for sound/video , a bracket for serial /parallel and a bracket for Parallel/usb.
It also has some special connectors for a lifetimer and other things...

It works as a regular Mainboard.

In the center of the board is a "LTI2" connector for a impossible to find (DVI / Svideo / composite) riser card like this:

It's a fine photo for https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/chaintech-ct-6wev
I see a IT8888F PCI-to-ISA Bridge Chip on the photo but there's no any ISA slots. It's interesting what is the chip for here.

Maybe some of the (4) Serial ports are ISA based or they needed it to control the coin mechanism / counter / special features.
I was also confused why there is a ISA bridge on board...

Its also sad to see no AGP because i think the crappy integrated Intel grapics use it 😁
