Hi,

Its actually an ISA slot, but im guessing the same logic could be applied re: attaching different ISA cards.

not really sure if an ISA gfx card would be much cop though

That is pretty much what this board does. It works with ISA network cards and some other non DMA ISA cards.

ISA Sound cards usually need DMA.

Hi,

See http://amigahardware.mariomisic.de/cgi-bin/showhardware_en.cgi?HARDID=912

The X-Surf card itself acts as a Bridgeboard between the RealTek ISA card which is soldered to the board and the Zorro bus.
