About PCI to ISA cards, ** possibly ** with DMA :
Did you check theses guys :

They manufacture lot of "interface" boards ( PCI, ISA, etc ... )
and have a lot of things, may be there is something of interest for you ?
( I mean : with DMA )
Oh man, SO close! I feel like an idiot for not having heard of PCI
Distributed DMA any more (which sends 8237 DMAC requests over the PCI
bus, and it's mentioned in the IT8888F data sheet on the link you gave).
But a little googling suggests that recent chipsets don't bother
implementing it any more. That would have solved everything but cost!
