Been there done that and also wrote and article about subsetting ISA
to get a bus more usable on non isa machines.
A typical homebrew app would be grafting a WD1002WX to a z80 homebrew
to provide a MFM hardisk. The example is the core of home brewing as it
takes common cheap components to make a usable or improved system but is
not a plug in mod.

Eithernet was done for S100 commercially. S100 took longer to die than
most people thought.
