ISA = Industry standard architecture

Means the card slots in computers (old ones) that were 100% compatible to the IBM XT/AT slot design and specs.

These slots stayed around into the Pentium era as so many add-on cards were ISA and not PCI, VESA. Viedo, sound, port cards, IDE interface, SCSI interface cards.

PCI is the new standard slot with AGP for video.
