Watch your dmesg output closely (maybe even boot with "boot -v")
and see how much of ISA stuff is still in these machines -- no
matter how many visible ISA slots there are ... Almost all
peripheral devices should be ISA: sio, ppc, atkbd, psm, sc (sort
of), fdc, rtc, etc. AFAIK only ata and maybe onboard pcm
(besides NICs and SCSI) made it to the PCI bus. And despite vga
is attached to a separate AGP bus (connected to the PCI
backbone(?) via another bridge) it still lurks out at the same
location as the oldest VGA board did.
I still have yet to see a legacy free PC. :) I guess it wouldn't
be a PC any longer (no A20-gate, no WD lookalike interface to
harddrives invented some sixteen years later, i.e. no Wintel
hardware). :>
