[Ham-Computers] PCI-ISA conversion?

[Philip Atchley]

Hi All,

I'm making this inquiry on behalf of a third party who has a 'VERY' 
expensive ISA card that he would like to run on a modern computer with 
only PCI, USB (and serial/Parallel) ports.  He asked me to find out if 
it's feasible to make an interface to use said card on the modern 
machine.  I suspect that the difference in PCI/ISA bus speeds etc would 
make this a rather formidable task, especially for one such as I who is 
NOT a digital engineer and who can "almost" find his way through an OR 
gate (My specialties are RF and Audio analog stuff)  ;-)  

Anyway, I did do a Google on PCI-ISA conversion and turned up a couple 
companies who market such things.  Only one of them listed the price, 
and at $590.00 a pop they're not even in the running!

ANY IDEAS?
