Via So370 chipsets support the ISA bus, so it could work. You might need some extra passive bits and pieces (SMD resistors & caps) here and there though. Best bet would be to find a pic of a version of the board with slot present and compare all the stuff around it with yours.
Here's a half-decent one of the MS-6309: https://images.anandtech.com/old/motherboards … 33a/msi6309.jpg
That GA-7N400L is an absolutely great board, probably my favorite SoA board. It's not that it has a ton of features, it just has the basic nForce2Ultra-400 chipset, but that means excellent performance. Anything else you can add in a PCI slot. The only onboard stuff is mediocre audio and nework, but you can disable both. There were more extensive versions with extra PATA RAID, SATA and IEEE1394 chips onboard, but none beat the better PCI options.
Also: nice Speccy games. Gauntlet brings back memories...
