I suspect finding a PC motherboard -- with a cassette port -- is even harder.

Why would you want one? Well, the Microprofessor MP1/88 is an 8080-based 
machine with an IBM PC compattible cassette port (and no other built-in 
storage). In theory you can cross-develop code on an PC, save it to 
cassette, and load it in to the Microprofessor.
