creviel Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 I need an ATX motherboard with ISA slots which allow DMA it must also support windows 98se. This pc will only have one program and one ISA card installed. Used is fine but I would prefer a new one. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.First few results in a google search:http://www.nixsys.com/products/accessories/motherboards.html?gclid=COfpw7uK7K4CFUZJ3wodalw3Lwhttp://www.bressner.co.uk/catalog/revision-issue-control-motherboards/isa-motherboards?gclid=COT51vOK7K4CFUFL3wodNV5YIwhttp://interloper.com/What do you mean with "which allow DMA"? jaclaz
creviel Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 The ISA card requires Direct Memory Access.
jaclaz Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 The ISA card requires Direct Memory Access.I am not sure to understand. AFAICR it's not the card that needs ISA DMA; it's the "slot" or "bus", i.e. if a motherboard has a ISA bus and an ISA card slot it also has ISA DMA. jaclaz
LoneCrusader Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 SOYO P4 I845PE ISASOYO's website no longer exists, but these are excellent motherboards. I have several of them in my own machines.BCM BC875PLG875PLG ManualThis is probably the "newest" motherboard that has an ISA slot.
Mijzelf Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 ISA Motherbords are still manufactured. Like these. But you must search for industrial PC's. And they have a corresponding price.

cdoublejj Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 you may want to try asking on the VOGONS forums those guy are classic computing gurus.
TmEE Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I got the BCM875PLG mobo and it works wonderfully, but it cost me a nice chunk of money. Its DMA is not exactly great, fair bit of devices I got have problems on it and there seems nothing to do about it unfortunately, but it is among the most powerful boards with ISA with working DMA.
