[ISA Bus Extender for Maintenance / Debugging]
Desoldered the female ISA connector, then soldered it
to the underside of a
passive backplane. Would I have goofy reliability problems? Would it even
work?
AFAIK, the ISA bus works sufficiently slowly that it doesn't need to
be treated like a transmission line. So, if it does work, it probably
will.
How are you intending to swap the pins? If you solder the connector
straight to the underside of the motherboard, mounting the ISA card up
side down, the pins on each side of the ISA connector will be
incorrect.
