I have some 8, 16 bit ISA cards that I'd love to keep running. Are there any options such as ISA via USB? ISA on Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone?
I personally run little 4-slot industrial ISA backplane systems for ISA cards that support something important in the shop, like one of the EPROM programmers, or the NI GPIB-410 test/debug/sniffer board. You get to choose the CPU board, anything from 386SX to high-end Pentium III are common and available. I can then run whatever OS supports it without any extra work, and the hardware is more reliable than consumer stuff from the era. It's also pretty small! I know that's not a direct answer to the question asked :P Thanks, Jonathan
