Wow - you'll be struggling. I used ISA cards back in '92 - switching to PCI not long afterwards.

Could you source the same unit, but with a PCI interface? I'm guessing you've tried that already?

I think I have an old Compaq Deskpro 2000 at work with a P166MMX. I can check if that has an ISA slot on it for you? Otherwise, it will get WEEE'd....

edit - according to this, it does have ISA?

Hi Andy,

Looks to be in working order so far - and there are several ISA slots as seen in the pic below:-

Not checked the other specs yet, but it appears to be a 120-day Eval version of Windows 2000 Pro, SMC 10/100 NIC, 1GB memory and a whopping 6GB HDD.

Do you want to PM me your address and I can get some postage costs?

Cheers,
D.
