Unfortunately we have been left behind by the tech companies. I haven't looked for adapters like you are talking about, but if you do find them, I'll be interested in them - so please come back and post your conclusions. Thanks for the suggestions all. My Dad checked into an updated system, but it is quite costly. If we can't find a way to do this interface, then I guess we'll have to buy their new setup. I found one in a search, but they said the software would have to be re-engineered to use usb communication.
We were looking for a plug-and-play setup since we are not software engineers. If I come across anything, I'll let you know. Thanks again, Alex. Finding a few things THIS may be your guy! Maybe your laptop vendor has special docking stations that might have an ISA slot I'll keep lookin'. Too bad HotBot search engine changed Go grab a Computer Shopper magazine those used to be 3x thicker, I loved 'em!
I think I got it! That's the interface! I'm tempted if it's cheap. I have some classic ISA sound cards I don't want to give up, but use on a new system They even have some nice enclosures if the card isn't too long.
Couple hundred bucks and you're all set. Now you'll get a big pat on the back from your boss and I'll still be looking for work. DaveSimmons Elite Member. Aug 12, 40, If the slot box idea fails, you could at least switch the desktop box to being micro-ATX size for easier carrying.
ProviaFan Lifer. Mar 17, 14, 1 0. I have also seen Pentium 4 motherboards with an ISA slot or two, if you need the extra speed. Unfortunately, I can't remember who makes them or where to get them now.

It brings examples of the current ways of servicing of these types of cards, and examples of replacements and new architectures.
Since the products we offer are based on USB, the rest of the chapter will give details on the USB interface and our products. These devices are connected normally with USB cable which can be from 1 foot to 15 feet 30cm to 5m long. The number of controlled devices may be increased to more than 8 , if necessary.

I used something similar if not identical in a legacy application around a decade ago. I hesitate to post this as an answer as some driver code will need to be written and your specific card may not work.
These target industry, not hobbyists — scruss. It would be helpful to know the details, if you have a specific project in mind. I was about to write the same as Brian above. We need to know what the card is.
You may not be able to get drivers for it even if you can connect it. Show 1 more comment. Active Oldest Votes. It is, however, also pretty likely a modern PCI-express or USB replacement is cheaper, thus rendering the adapter useless. The ISA card is not-so-trivial, might use DMA or even take over the bus completely, as many of the more complicated co-processor cards do.
I happen to have a Motorola card on an ISA slot that does take over the bus completely and talks to the graphics card and disk controllers directly - something like that would be worthy of spending quite some of money for an adapter card - I don't, however, know of any adapter card that would support such a setup. Improve this answer. I'm not sure how well bus mastering works with either kind of bridge.
We still buy these for some legacy devices that just won't die. Add a comment.
