ISA and EISA, sure, but not as ports, as connectors on the motherboard.

Yeah, I guess port isn't the exact best word. Here are some wordnik defs which probably describe port as an ok choice: noun A porthole. noun Archaic A cover for a porthole. noun An opening, as in a cylinder or valve face, for the passage of steam or fluid. noun A hole in an armored vehicle or a fortified structure for viewing or for firing weapons. noun An entrance to or exit from a data network. noun A connection point for a peripheral device. :)

Nice to see an old hand!

A "header" then. FDD header, ISA header, EISA header. A motherboard may have an internal "USB header", but rarely an internal USB port.

Would it not be more accurate to say ISA socket / ISA card (depending to which you are referring)? What was that small one "only designed for modems" apparently that suddenly appeared on mobos?

It's due to the fact I took off the side and Newbe's saw it and went 'whats that?'...
