Are these pre-UEFI-era 990FX m/bs still being made?

I'm currently using a...

GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3+ - GA-990XA-UD3 (rev. 1.x)
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3901#ov

...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:
