If you use a discrete graphic card you instantly lose two (and only) extra PCIe slots. Rubbish and pointless.
I remember upgrading my trident isa video card to a PCI bus card. Difference was mind blowing. Cheers to you, sir!
every one talk about it has many features. higher price. and makes their board looks like abrams tank and your recent board looks like rusty fiat 500
PCI bus (and its successors, including PCI-e) bring their own set of problems, two of the more important ones are vastly more complicated bus interface and PCI ID requirement, which costs real money (though honestly I'm not sure whether this can be sidestepped by the use of a suitable bridge chip). It would take a heap of money to "fix" something that was never really broken to begin with and - seeing how it's an amateur effort - isn't very likely to happen ;)
It isn't really needed for work though but neither are my completely maxed-out Vaxstation 4000/M96 (100 MHz CPU before even first 60 MHz P5 came out, full 128 MB of RAM, Turbochannel adapter board with quite some TC cards, plus I have a choice of different graphics boards) or other gadgets I keep around :)
A HAM radio transceiver? Does anything still support that as a PC communication system? <- actual curiosity.
I simply do not believe you are using a HAM radio modem to access the Internet right now. Regardless of speed, lack of support, bus limitations, range, and availability of far better solutions vastly out weight the non-existent list of advantages of ISA.
Don't get me wrong, if old tech is a hobby, cool. I have no issue with you loving an old system or working with them just cause. But to say you NEED them is a long long long stretch.
