There seem to be still many running 486 machines - and only the last 486
boards also had PCI slots.

While deprecating OSS drivers, I got emails from people still using some
of the ISA cards.

And there are even Pentium 4 boards with ISA slots available.

Not to mention many embedded boards - many pc104 boards use ISA, just
to mention one type.
