It runs with two older drives and a CD ROM.

I think you are wrong. The I/O shield now-a-days is unique to
the board with its own arrangements of external sockets. I
bought my board as surplus, bare bones, from a jobber on Ebay.
He said it had none of the usual things that come with a
board. I thought he meant manual, cables, mounting screws. In
fact, he meant without any of the things that came in a bag
inside the box with the MB. So, my board came without a
backplate stiffener that holds the cooler to the CPU. It did
have an I/O shield, but for a different subset of the board
with less on board features. Tyan graciously sent me a back
plate thingy. Both Tyan and the jobber say they don't have an
I/O Plate. I can run without it. Who ever looks behind your
computer?

So, I am looking for a boneyard of old motherboards.
