I never heard of Nixsys!  People are still making system with ISA slots!?

thats kind of crazy cool.

I am desperately in need of a wroking MOBO with an 8BIT ISA slot.  Sadly the XT and 486I have with those slots are not longer functional.  I've got a CGA card and monitor I want to work, but the card cannot be plugged into a 16bit ISA slot due to overhang on the card.
