Indeed my Hades can have ISA/PCI cards but it's some kind of lotery to get 
for example a NE2000 ethercard working on it. I do have one but alas it 
doesn't work. I don't know the details but it has something to do with the 
poor implementation of the PCI protocol. Maybe just maybe I can get it 
working if I choose another PCI slot for both the ethernet and the graphic 
card (Mach 64) but I don't dare to touch the Hades anymore. The 
motherboard of the Hades is rather vulnerable.
