I just got off the phone with Chris at LinearX. I'm glad I spoke to him, because after seeing two of David Lee's computers not work with LMS, I suspected the LMS card may be sensitive to buss timing or something. But Chris tells me that he has never run across a system with an ISA buss that wouldn't work with the LMS card.
I have seen some boards not work in ISA slots. I did a little checking to refresh my memory, and the original standard ran the buss at 8.3Mhz and (naturally) had specific timing requirements for setup and hold of each signal line. Some cards are intolerant of deviation from these specs, so as later manufacturers started superceding it, those cards would not work.
But the position of LinearX is that the LMS board is compatible with any motherboard that has an ISA slot.
