I hope everyone can pitch in and help me out on this...

I'm making the move to Haiku, but we still have a little ways to go, and in
the meanwhile, I need to continue selling systems that will run BeOS.  Up
until now I've been able to keep finding modern motherboards that work by
using Promise IDE controller cards with them.  The most recent one that has
worked for us is the Foxconn G31AX-K which is a five-PCI slot board.  I need
a minimum of four PCI slots in order to handle the cards we require for our
system.  The mobo is a 775 style.  The G31 chipset is no longer available,
so that door appears to be closed.

I'm running low on boards and just need to keep going on BeOS long enough to
bridge the gap until we have everything ready for Haiku.  It'd be a shame
not to "make it."  Can you guys work with me, help give me some advice on
what I could try?

Thanks,

Dane
