only certain "socket 3" chipset boards seem to have integrated I/O Controllers
for the SIS Chipset. it seems to be the SIS 497 & SIS 496 have it and the SIS 471,SIS 469, SIS 461 dont

heres an example:
the asus pvi-486sp3

another example:
the Gigabyte GA-5486AL
http://www.amoretro.de/2012/02/gigabyte-ga-5486al-rev-2a-motherboard-486-pci.html
this one seems to lack the ps2mouse header the above asus one has

and another asus: (also has ps2 mouse header)
the asus PCI-I-486SP3G

not sure what form factor this is but its huge compared to the other 486 boards
