Nope this isn't a thread asking if they work together.

It's one stating that they do. I'm running a Brand new PII 940 Black Edition on my old M3A with an AMD 770 / SB600 chipset using the 1102 Beta Bios and it's running just fine. Even recognizes the processor in the bios and CPU-Z. So anyone with this board that are wondering if they can upgrade to the Phenom II. Go for it, just be sure to get the 1102 Bios before you install it.

Is there a micro ATX board that would work with the 955?

I'm not sure about that, as the 955 is AM3 only and I don't know if there are any micro ATX AM3 motherboards out yet.
