Since last year, motherboard shiped with ISA slot is getting rare. I believe no motherboard shiped with ISA today.
I was under the same impression when I was looking for an upgrade to my FIC PA2013 motherboard (it's using AMD-K6/2-500 CPU).
I was surprised to learn how many current EPOX motherboards do have ISA slot : (http://www.epox.com/html/english/products/motherboard/Default.htm)
I already see the list, and here is my comment. * For those of you want Pentium 4 or Celeron w/ p4 core, then there is no ISA. (no Linux??) * Socket370 is DEAD, and will be gone in less than half year, so it doesn't matter if it has ISA or not. Furtheremore, loking a brand new mobo with ISA on the list, (most of the time) you will get answer "that mobo already discontinued" * For Socket A, the one that has ISA slot is old chipset.
So it does not look dead as of today.
So, it's not dead as of today, but like I said... Time is running out. Is there any USB or PCI modem that can be run in Linux (without hasle)???
Sorry for OT message.
I don't think this is OT. This is about SuSE survival too. If current/future computer can't use Linux for dial-up, then Linux will be very disadvantage by this situation.
