Most new designs based on the popular PCI/ISA form factor have no requirements for the ISA bus. They demand more I/O
bandwidth, especially in the form of the PCI-X extension to the PCI specification.
Also, recent chipsets have no support for an ISA bus and can even be hostile to the addition of a
PCI-to-ISA bridge. The ISA bus is now a cumbersome, expensive, and often useless feature that imposes restrictions on
chipset choice.
