While I love this, and I totally appreciate the work and effort... why ISA? I mean, why not jack it up to be a clone that works with newer PCs?
I get that it is a clone, but it might have been even better if we could use it today. (of all the old junk I have, I no longer have a mobo with ISA, VLB or AGP slots)
