I think it will be compatible with these processors, maybe bios 3.83beta will be needed. I think this revision does not allow lowering the voltage below 2.1V

Here's the official manual of revision 2.1, chapter 2:
Like LubieCipy said, the lowest Vcore offered by this MB was 2.1V (manual page 2-6) with frequencies up to 100 x 5.5 (page 2-3), which THEORETICALLY should be fine with 180 nm K6-III+ / K6-2+.
HOWEVER, MSI wrote this on its BIOS download page under BIOS version 2.7:
wrote:2.PCB version 2.1 can only support up to K6-2 400MHz.
It would be up to you to decide whether if you are willing to take the risk. 🤔
For the record: BIOS 3.83 beta
MS-5169 v4.0 3.83 Beta BIOS
Not sure if it works on PCB 2.1 though.
i not have a k6+ cpu but i have K62 and K6III an i like to use both, especially the K6III
