I/O shield for AOpen AK79D-400 Max

I bought this board on eBay, sans I/O shield. It LOOKED like an Asus
shield would work,
so I was not too worried about none being mentioned in the offering.
Alas, the Asus shield
is slightly different. The network and USB connectors on the AK79D are
a little farther to the left
than the Asus shield holes.

I've searched eBay and can't find any that say specifically AOpen. A
few sellers offer a variety
of shield that one can pick by looking at the photos, but from the
photo it's impossible to tell if the ones
that have the same general layout are for Asus or AOpen.

Any suggestions? I'm thinking about getting out the tinsnips!

TIA

Problem solved. Called Calif. office of Aopen, and they referred me to
a company that
sells AOpen parts products, ABC. Tel number is 510-887-2588. Cost $12
including shipping.
