ISA slots?

Are there any manufacturers out there producing motherboards with an ISA slot on them? Need to find a supply for work and struggling to find anything but second hand, which isn't ideal...

Dead technology mate, i doubt anyone is producing them new

Real pain in the bum, and a bit daft, if I'm looking for them, others must be. Surely there's a market for boards with one slot on, not like they take up much space..

The last boards I saw with them were the early Socket A boards unfortunately. Even then they were pretty redundant

PC based quiz games. The board to connect the PC to the coin acceptor and the hopper and stuff is ISA. Trying to source a PCI version, but I'm not sure if that'll work, the software was written for an ISA card, and I'm not sure how it'll cope with PCI.

If you can get some coding done for you this sort of thing might work:

The only problem is you need to write your own device drivers and code. Also I have no experience with this hardware so don't know its limitations. However it was the only card of its type I could find using google.

SUPERMICRO do some boards with ISA slots. The P4SCA is a P4 motherboard but is not cheap. A quick google showed one in stock at another site for £136.49 ex VAT

Got a PIII 500 and BE6 if you really need isa

Supermicro board is a bit pricey, that's more than we planned to do the entire repair for..

Thanks for the offer finite, but I don't need any right now, was just looking for a supplier for the future..
