PC/104 bridge

Hi,



It seems like the PC/104 / ISA is the preferred for PC/104 systems compared to PC/104+ / PCI, because the ISA is so much simpler to use and is fast enough for most applications. However, there is a problem here. Software development for these systems is obvious on a Linux PC with e.g. Borland Kylix, but you can no longer directly interface your desktop PC with the PC/104 / ISA since new PC's do no longer have the ISA bus. Is it possible to get a bridge to get an ISA or PC/104 bus in a modern PC with only PCI slots?



Thanks,



Jens.

AFAIK, some PC/104 suppliers also have standard PC motherboards that have a PC/104 socket for those cards.

I know, but I would like to use a standard desktop PC and not a dedicated very expensive one.

If you really need a PC with an ISA slot then perhaps the best thing to do is to put a PC togther yourself using a motherboard with an ISA slot. I did this 2-3 months ago and found that there are a few motherboards still available, and are up-to-date in other respects.

I can't remember the type I purchased now, but I didn't have too much trouble finding one.
