...........Thanks for any replies................ Or is there a product where you can plug a isa card into a pci slot with some kind of convertor.


anyone????


..... :Q🙂:sun: 😉
 
Good luck. I don't think you'd be able to find such a beast, ISA is dead dead dead. What do you need an ISA slot for anyways?
 
For ISA you might look for an old BX board and use a slotket or slotket-T for a fast-for-year-2000 CPU. Or an old pre-XP AMD board and a Duron or tbird. FS/FT should have something, or put a WTB there.

You might also do an advanced search (of atrchived threads) for ISA in FS/FT and here for the PCI->ISA bridge, I think someone asked this several months ago and got some replies about a convertor box for use with some expensive ISA card.

wireless network card and i cant replace it so any other products are going to help me.
 
Wireless for an old system, I presume. There's lots of PCI and USB wireless network adapters but only for the existing standards...

If you're DESPERATE, there are some USB-to-ISA projects out there that have some products but it's not that cheap (not outrageous either) but it'd still be cheaper to get a new wireless router and a couple wireless NICs to go with it, especially if you can find some discounted 11Mbit units since 44 and 55Mbit units are out there now.

But as suggested, the Chaintech 7AJA2 or the microATX version would both be decent. One ISA on a KT133A chipset for Durons and Thunderbirds. I don't know if it supports any XP processors offhand....
 
Biostar M7MIA comes to mind. You might send a PM to jonnyGURU to pick his brain about CPU support, since I think he knows what they'll run. IIRC, they'll handle Palomino-core AthlonXP's and Morgan-core Durons with the proper BIOS. Otherwise you could stick with a Thunderbird Athlon or Spitfire Duron.
