If anyone actually wants to play with ISA design, I have a 16 bit ISA proto card
gathering dust. It's a JDR Microdevices PDS-611:

All docs available, for sale for $41.44 (or half of whatever JDR wants that
day) plus shipping from New York.

There, I may agree.

Like most other people, I'd recommend PLX, it's cheap enough especially
for simple targets (no bus mastering). You probably won't understand the
PCI bus much more after you've done it though- you are insulated from
all that if you just follow the reference design.

For drivers, TVicH co0mes to mind, it's shareware, so you get a bother
screen until you buy it, but it's reasonably cheap.

Can you let me know where I can get a PCI to
ISA card?

Modern computer with PCI only, need to plug
in an ISA card.

Generic cards are hard to come by and probably wouldn't work. There can only
be one PCI-to-ISA bridge in a system and that's usually in the chipset
(nowdays it is the bridge towards the LPC bus). PLX has a board with the
PCI9052 that has an ISA bus slot on it (the PCI 9052RDK-LITE for $299) but
that's far from being a universal solution.
