I have a application specific PC. It is used for a video training package. It uses a piggybacked video card that allows overlays and other enhancments and aids to training. This machine is now a 486 dx4 100 and I would like to upgrade it. Hopefully to something in the pentium or K6 or II class but this video card is an ISA card and is full length meaning that it fills the case lengthwise. All Pentium boards I can find lhave the processor or some board level devices right next to and protlruding above the slot height thus preventing the card insertion. If I could find a board with 6 ISA slots I could use a riser card. If not then I need to find a board that can handle a full length card. Does this animal exist? If it does how can I get my hands on one? If it doesn't got any ideas how to remedy the situation. By the way the software needs this particular card so trying a different harware arrangment won't work. All inputs will be appreciated.

Check this company out - They make some specialty equipment in extremely small packages and may have what you are looking for.

Also - post the name of the video card here - perhaps someone knows of an alternate card or device that can do the same thing for you.

If it's that important or that useful, chances are someone has an alternative for you.

Thanks for the response.
That card is a TrueVision Bravado 16. Nearest thing I can find is about $3500 from Pinnacle who bought TrueVision a couple years ago.Even if I could afford that expense The program I use this on is a Windows 3.1 with little intelligence. It looks for the Bravado card on start and will not run without it. There may be a couple of choices to configure in an ini file but they are all from the early 90's and I don't know how to tie in drivers for anything else.
Flytech looks interesting I didn't see anything with ISA slots that was faster than what I have though.
