How can I travel with ISA card?

I need to travel with a PC fitted with a specialist full-length ISA
card.  But portable PCs with ISA slots don't seem to be sold any
more.  The only solution seems to be to carry round a docking station,
which is both expensive and inconvenient.

Especially as docking stations generally fit only the top of the range
portables, and they're fast becoming a lot more expensive as
manufacturers introduce new models that take PCI cards.

Am I the only person that needs to do this?  Anyone got any ideas?

If I can't find a suitable new machine I'd be very interested in
buying secondhand (in good nick) one of the older mains-operated
laptops or luggables that have ISA slots.  Must be 386 or better and
be able to take a maths co-processor.
