Whats the point of reinventing the wheel, when the wheel, in this case an
ISA card, will not fit into futcher PC's.
I was talking to our local computer dealer only yesterday and the subject
came up that new boards are in the make without any ISA slots.
Futher more there are too many problems with IRQ allocations as well.

I am quite sure Joreg DL1BKE will comment on the technical side of things.
