I had to purchase a new PC yesterday that required an ISA slot due to
old software driving an old multiport card.
Had to try a whole bunch of places before I found an ISA motherboard.
none of the 5 machines I've bought in the last year had ISA slots 
(not a requirement for those)
ISA is going away whether we like it or not.
