Yes, but the ISA token ring cards aren't as well supported as the PCI

Of course the real reason for that is that many, many more chipsets were
used for ISA cards, whereas there are only a handful of chipsets that
are used for PCI cards. Some OS such as Linux are gaining more and more
support for these kinds of boards, though it would be nice if *BSD had
the same level of support.
There's a significant level of support in BSD for TP, because it came from
IBM AOS.

Nosiree. Any
PC, any RS/6000, really, any machine with PCI can do
token ring.
Token ring didn't require PCI bus, I have some ISA Token ring cards
around here somewhere
