[Ham-Computers] PCI-ISA conversion?

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Mark, 	
	
Solution: Build external ISA slot. Provide correct power requirements for board.
Tap the right pin outs and use it as an external serial device. The same as the
DECTALK Express. Which is the same board with a PS, rechargeable battery,
on/off/voume switch added.

Hi Duane.

OK.  My mind isn't going :-) :-)  Like I said, it was quite a while
back.

I just did some poking around, since my curiosity was up and found
this:

     http://www.douglas.com/hardware/pcbs/pc104/

This place has a couple of cards which will allow you to connect an
ISA card (and two PCI cards) to a single PCI slot.  (Take the
BX-DE-104+-163-265 card and connect it to the 6-DE-65/104 card.)

Although I just thought of an additional wrinkle.  Even if you get
an ISA to PCI adapter, you will need to get a special driver to make
it all work.  The normal (for ISA) just won't work.  Sigh.

I'll ponder some more.
