Was a long time since I last heard about NE2000. Getting flashbacks of me creating NetWare 2 images with Novell linker, disk-jockeying 5,25" floppies while making notes about jumpers for IRQ and I/O address, trying to bind AppleTalk cards for IPX and TCP/IP, etc.
Is there even a new x86 ISA system that you could buy today?
- EvanAnderson 6y agoThere are still 486-class single board computers (SBC) available w/ PC/104 interfaces (which is electrically the ISA bus but on a pin header). I believe there are boards that let you interface card-edge connector slots to a PC/104 SBC.
- rzzzt 6y agoLGR has made a video recently, installing one (it had an ISA edge connector, not PC/104) with a backplane in a desktop case: https://youtu.be/Q4qJf50YSVk https://youtu.be/Q4qJf50YSVk
- dogecoinbase 6y agoThere are quite a few, mostly meant for industry applications where there is a controller card for a specialized device, e.g.: https://www.nixsys.com/motherboard-with-isa-slot/ https://www.nixsys.com/motherboard-with-isa-slot/ Though you'll find that a lot of them are single-board computers meant to interface with a bus backplane, either PC/104 (as the sibling comment notes) or... more advanced, like this thing: https://www.advantech.com/products/1-2jkn6l/pca-6028/mod_e93ee968-5aaa-4090-be86-7e139f5647b1 https://www.advantech.com/products/1-2jkn6l/pca-6028/mod_e93... which will accept aCore i7s and 16GB of RAM, and has native ISA.
