ISA-Slot

MD39114 / 6 Antworten / Flachansicht Nickles

Ich moechte mir einen neuen Rechner bauen lassen. Fuer ein Audio-Messystem (Clio) brauche ich einen ISA-Slot, die neuen motherboards haben aber keinen mehr. Welche Optionen habe ich: aelteres motherboard (z.B. Soltek) verwenden, oder einen PCI-ISA Adapter (woher), oder was sonst noch? OS muesste Windows 98 sein, der Prozessor kann bei Soltek nur ein AMD sein.

das hier hab ich grad im Internet gefunden:

Dear Doug Rust,

Because of IRQ issues and non-fixed-memory locations, it is not possible to
make a PCI card (that plugs into a host motherboard) with a ISA slot work
right. (Perhaps custom software could access that ISA card, but the
original software for this ISA card, designed to run on a motherboard with
ISA slots, won't be able to find the ISA card plugged into this PCI card).
(I could be wrong. if such a board is possible -- or better yet, is
available for sale -- I would appreciate hearing about it).

There are lots of *chips* that bridge between a PCI bus on one side and
some ISA slots on the other. These chips are used on motherboards to bridge
to the ISA slots. (They don't work if you put them on a card because they
use lots of "sideband signals" not available in a PCI slot).

Given that you *really* need to use this ISA card, have you ever considered
buying a motherboard that that card will actually plug into ? It seems ...
counterproductive ... to "choose" a motherboard that won't work with the
components you need to use. It's like buying a Sun workstation when you
really needed to run Macintosh software.
