AT-Style K7 Motherboards?

yhetti asks: "I'm pretty old school and I love my K7. But there seems to be some sentiment around the cubicles and whatnot that there should be AT form factor K7 boards. The arguements of AT vs ATX are pointless and, like so much other stuff, it comes down to preference and use. My main qualm with ATX is that as nice as the BIOS softpower and power settings might be, they don't always work. You all know what I mean. AT is at least garenteed to start back up on power fail. In a perfect world everything is on an UPS. But then...HAH. So are there any plans for an AT style Athlon board coming down the pipe? Some sort of arch. problem that won't let it happen? Maybe power requirments? Are any of the major companies (read as: "Asus, Tyan, and FIC") thinking about this? I'd buy a dozen... " I too must state my desire to see something like this.
