That is true - many of the newer motherboards don't have an ISA
connector (the old black connector).   They only have PCI connectors.

There isn't any way to plug an ISA card into a PCI connector.

This means you won't be able to use your DVP with this computer.

Your only choices are to go back to a computer that has an ISA
connector - or possibly use your sound "card" with SBDVP instead
of your DVP.
