usb2isa - USB 2.0 to ISA card

If you need to use your ISA card, but your new computer or laptop lacks ISA slots, use our usb2isa card to convert your USB port to a virtual ISA slot.

ARS Technologies’ USB2ISA® allows plugging and handling of any standard or custom ISA card. Our usb2isa provides simple migration from ISA form factor to USB, full access to memory and I/O space of the ISA card, and handling of IRQ and DMA events.

The usb2isa functions on these Operating Systems:

Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, Server 2003
Linux - 2.4.xx and 2.6.xx kernels
Mac OS X (for developers)
Installation Software
The usb2isa software includes UNIVERSAL SOFTWARE LAYER feature.
We currently offer support for DOS under Windows operating systems.

Dimensions: 6 X 1.80 X 0.5 in., 15.0 X 4.5 X 1.5 cm.

Not ROHS compliant - customers in the European Union, unless claiming an exemption, should order usb2isa-ra-r product.

Pre-order Considerations

1. Powering needs. Our power supply module provides -5V, +12V, and -12V for using the usb2isa family of products. To find whether you need a Power Supply Module, please read DO I NEED A POWER SUPPLY MODULE

 

2. Software. The UNIVERSAL SOFTWARE LAYER should provide all the software you would need to get our usbisa card to work with your isa card(s). We offer an sdkbus for developers. If you have access to the source code, you may be interested in our SDKBUS

Otherwise, our hardware comes with all the software and drivers you will need.

For more software details, please see SDKBUS OR WILL THE USL DO?

3. Enclosures. ARS Technologies provides plastic enclosures/boxes for mounting a usb2isa and an ISA card. Please check the dimensions on the enclosures before ordering to ensure that the boxes will fit your ISA card using the ISA-B1 or ISA-B2.
