Re: PPorts and ISA

The Servo To Go website http://www.servotogo.com/ has a link on the
left, to sources of ISA equipped MoBo's.

The Baber.com link seems to give the best choice, with Slot 1, socket
7, Socket A and current socket 478 models available. Tiger direct
also lists Socket 370 models.

While it is true that the ISA slot is no longer mainstream, it is
still available at resonable prices, just not from your local
computor store (but then again, none of the other motion control
hardware we need is either).
