[Test-Equipment] GPIB to Printer

There some modern and available (i.e., VIA KT133A chipset) motherboards 
that have at least one ISA slot available: ABIT KT7A is one example. 

After upgrading to another CPU, I had an Athlon 1200 and I needed an ISA
slot for a GPIB card. The ABIT KT7A fit the bill, and because it is
a "mature" product (in the PC industry sense) it is relatively cheap.

True, but keep in mind that the next machine you buy will NOT have any ISA
slots.

That has already bitten me.  Had to swap my PCII/IIa out for a PCI version
just last month.
