Steve,
I doubt if the PCI-3000 will work in any new PC since most of them don't
have ISA slots. The PCI-3000 fits in an ISA slot, which is probably not
present on any new PC. Even if you find a relatively new computer that does
have an ISA slot you'll still have the board size problem.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the PCI-3000 is an ISA
board, even though it has "PCI" in its name.

Doug, K4DSP
