I've been looking for a good socket 478 board with decent ISA DMA support, and I came across this board:
https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32900248400.html

It has an ite8888 bridge chip, which is known to have good sound card compatibility, and a pre-ICH6 Southbridge, which means that the DMA signals for ISA are at least present on the chipset.

Has anyone ever used this board before?

Edit: it looks suspiciously similar to the Diebold MBATX 845E G2B.

I've found another post here mentioning that the Diebold board is identical to a Portwell motherboard. The person who got that particular board never reported on whether or not ISA DMA was confirmed working...

Update because I forgot this thread exists: the BIOS has no support for manually controlling DMA channels for ISA.
