I can't seem to find one. I just want to keep my old ISA 56k modem which I dearly love and which can stay up for DAYS and constantly connects at 52000 and has callerID and answering machine functions. It's an Archtek 5634BTS hardware modem and I've never found it's equal. I like this modem so much I'm considering sticking with an SDR motherboard like the KT7E if there isn't anything DDR out there with an ISA slot.

Sorry io333, I did some searching of my own for ya and from what I see DDR and ISA don't mix.

If you are dead-set on keeping it, you could keep your old modem in your old system and then build a new system, then share out your dial-up internet connection.

However, winmodems are so dirt cheap and realiable these days (my PCI LT Winmodem does fine) you'd be much, much better off just buying a new modem.

Thanks all. I just have a weird emotional attachment to my modem. It's been far better to me than any chick, and maybe even my dog!

Oh well. I guess I'll just have to move on with my life... <sigh>

I also have an ISA card I don't want to give up - a cheap little parallel card. My desk configuration doesn't allow me to use my scanner's passthru port for my printer, so I have a bi-directional card for the printer. Not only are PCI parallel cards more expensive than ISA cards, I also don't have any free slots. I won't miss the IRQ problems of ISA though.

You mean there are actually still people using dial up???

just kidding


The answer to your question is:

BIOSTAR M7MIA

www.biostar-usa.com

Uses the AWESOME AMD 761chipset suppting DDR and an ISA slot

Only one I'm aware of.

newegg has it for 114 in the Raid version which is super cheap for raid ddr boards, but
I don't know who has the non raid version. nice thing is, you can get it and if you ever
need raid, there u are.
