Would it not be easier to track down a modern-ish motherboard with an ISA slot, and plug that entire drive system into it? Then a recent OS, either linux or XP, for instance, would make the searching much more straightforward.

I've got, for instance, several QDI Kinetiz A motherboards that I hung onto for exactly this sort of thing, which have 1.4GHz Athlons in, and have ISA, PCI, and AGP slots. I am sure that a version of linux still exists with drivers for that card, and reasonably sure that XP would still support it.

One thing to bear in mind is that drives of that era usually don't auto-park the heads, you have to remember to do it manually via a dos command. If you don't, moving the drive can corrupt it badly.
