Although you'd be unlikely to ever find a new computer from one of the major consumer suppliers with an ISA slot, the ISA bus market is surprisingly vibrant.

Another one rides the bus

The receiver module is mounted onto a full length ISA bus card and is interconnected to the card via a small D-connector cable.

PC-based telemetry receiver

Several companies that manufactured ISA bus cards such as DMMs, universal time interval counters, and ROM emulators created 3U and 6U PXI versions of their products.

PXI-gration provides solution for obsolete test systems: with so many legacy or obsolete test systems in use today, customers are searching for solutions to ease the replacement pain

But the creaking ISA bus still propels most of the bits between subsystems in our PCs and harks back to the days of the original IBM PCs over 14 years ago.

Still waiting for the paradigm shift

It comprises an add-in card for IBM-compatible ISA bus computers and software that requires less than 1.5MB of hard disk space and 1MB for each mailbox.

ESD 101 uses new satellite-cable TV link

Depending on the application, features of the controls include: electro-luminescent or LCD operator displays, high-speed event detection for real-time response, high-density/high-power digital I/O, analog I/O, closed-loop control, alarm and fault detection and display, on-board diagnostics, Multibus or ISA bus architecture, 386 microprocessors, DOS platform, plotting and graphics, real-time clock, soft keys, printer output, and auxiliary-equipment interface.

The upside to this conversion from the ISA bus to the PCI bus is that PCI permits us to do things that ISA-based hardware was not capable of doing.

Linux for data acquisition: Linux vs. Windows--the contest rages on. Here's some more information to help you decide which of the two operating systems is best for your applications. (Data Acquisition)

This year's PC98 design specification removes the ISA bus and call for PCI bus only.
