I'm currently using a...

...and I want another FX-8350-capable, dual-BIOS, 990FX 'board with more PCIe slots sans any PITA UEFI.

Thank you.

No they are not being made your only chance is to find a vendor with old stock even that is a long shot.

UPDATE:

This FX-8350-native, 32GB of RAM-capable and still-available motherboard doesn't have a 990FX / SB950 chip-set but it does have a pre-UEFI BIOS:

It's no good for overclocking though:
