The network cards are generic Intel 21143 network cards - they are a "reference design" card, tons of manufacturers made identical cards. (Intel made the schematics available for free!) Nearly every OS made since Windows 98 SE should have drivers for it built-in.

Dear $deity, whipper-snapper! That "first motherboard" is roughly equivalent to the one I bought for the computer I built when I was in college! Nice board with onboard Matrox graphics. Sad no AGP. The port shield for that should be readily available - that was the "standard backplane layout" (the VGA port location was generally either VGA or a second 9-pin serial port.) Ah, here you go: Standard ATX I/O Shield - $3.49

To find out how fast the "second motherboard" Pentium is, take the CPU out, it will say on the labeling on the underside. And THAT PORT IS NOT POWER!!! That is an AT keyboard port. (The predecessor to PS/2.) You can use a standard PS/2 keyboard through an adapter. You'll want a PCI video card - ISA will be painful. You also might want serial and/or parallel back-panel cables. (Single 9-pin Serial, Parallel, Dual 9-pin/25-pin Serial.)
