I'm running @home 2000 on a machine and it's fine. They, if you let them
will install
the software with a program called Tioga, this can be turned off by using
msconfig under start, run, msconfig, startup. Just check the boxes that have
to do with Tioga.
PCI is better because it can share an IRQ with other cards, not what you
want to do but it can be done. Can't do that with ISA.
