The Soyo SY-P4I 845PE ISA and the Supermicro P4SCA have been around
for a couple of years and both have 3 ISA slots:

Problem is, it's practically impossible to get a reliable supply of
Socket 478 northwood version Pentium's, and it's getting impossible to
get a reliable supply of Celeron's (because even though Intel still
seems to be making northwood versions of Celerons, nobody wants to
stock them).
So I'm wondering if either Soyo or Supermicro (or anyone else) is
planning a Prescott-compatible motherboard with ISA slots (at least
1). Either socket 478 or 775.
(and don't say that ISA is dead because although it is and has been
for the consumer channel for years it is not yet dead for some
industrial / commercial applications).
