I found a Socket 478 board with AGP 1.5v, four PCI v2.2, and 3 ISA slots.

That should allow me to run my Sound Blaster 16, mouse controller, and a Voltage Blaster with a better video card.
I haven't thought much about which Windows games I want to play: I'm currently using the system to re-live my childhood memories in DOS.
Yes, that's an industrial board. That's why I wrote, if you go industrial, you can get much newer boards with ISA slot.
You could even get an IBASE MB865-R. It's built with the Intel 865G + ICH5 chipsets so Windows 98 is theoretically not a problem, has AGP and 2 ISA slots, but it's LGA775, so if it has BIOS with Core2 support, you can triple-boot DOS and Windows 98 with XP.
Thing is, with industrial boards, I don't know what you get for gaming/home use and for myself, I wouldn't pay $120 to find it out.
Looks like the iBASE MB865 boards do support ISA DMA through the Winbond 83628 and 83629 chips. However, according to the manual, it only supports Pentium 4 and Celeron D CPUs.

That is good to know about the Winbond chips.
Edit: The iBase MB930 series looks to use the same Winbond chips, is LGA775, supports C2D and C2Q, and the user manual shows the DMA settings in BIOS.... G35 /ICH9 chipset with ISA DMA.... HMMMMM... Not going to try it for $500 though.
