ISA is the Industry Standards Association
They developed the signal and physical standards for the 8 and 16 bit ISA slot structures of the IBMand IBM compatible systems.
It allowed basically any manufacturer to make cards that would work in the 8 or 16 bit slots in the XT and AT systems.
On a motherboard, these are the BLACK slots (missing on most new systems as PCI has taken over.)

i don't really know what ISA stands for but it's a slot in a motherboard (outdated ones) where you can put video card, sound card or other cards. motherboards with this kind of slot are obsolete now. the newer version of ISA is the PCI slot.

Hmm....When I was in college it was Independent Students Association.
If you're talking about ISP, that is Internet Service Provider. The one you pay for internet access.
Hope that helps.
