Is there a search engine/page for PC motherboards where I can find motherboards by properties, eg. floppy, serial port, parallel port, IDE port support?
To some extent (all in german, but the descriptions are pretty selfexplanatory using standard names): http://geizhals.de http://geizhals.at If you use EUR as currency, you also get a gist of how much the stuff costs, in the other cases, you get at least a relative sense. Beware though: the cheapest are just that, where you'd have to pay in advance and maybe get the merchandise (despite efforts to weed those out). Look for the following names to get a realistic price amazon [if sold by amazon], alternate, reichelt, conrad, arlt, atelco, basically look at the "midrange" prices. If you just look for features, you don't have to care about that of course. BTW: I doubt there is a any recent mobo for intel combining all four mentioned above, if any. IIRC there are some boards having PATA and serial, but floppy and parallel? Socket 1155 + PATA + Floppy + serial yields 3 boards by asrock. None with parallel. For AM3+ there's one asrock and one msi, both with the (deprecated) AMD760 Chipset. I think the better path to venture on is forget about parallel onboard, just get a interface card, e.g. from delock.de: 89129 PCI Express Karte 2 x Seriell, 1x Parallel 89177 PCI Express Karte > 4 x Seriell, 1x Parallel 89004 Delock PCI Karte - 1x Parallel & 2x Seriell They (and others) also have IDE adapters.
