I'm playing with an industrial ISA SBC, it's got onboard VGA, network, and compact flash.
I would like to put this board in an ISA slot of my desktop. I want the board to be isolated so that it doesn't see any other ISA boards in the bus and also so that the desktop doesn't see the SBC either. It should basically sit in the bus and draw power. Can anybody advise me on what lines I should cut on the ISA interface of the SBC in order to accomplish this? I suppose I could go through and cut every line except for the power and ground lines, but is there just a handful of critical signals that I could eliminate to accomplish the same thing?
Thank You!
