I couldn't tell what the problems with those are.

Yes, it is painfully slow.  But it still can be used for worthwhile
things.  It is fast enough to stream flac files, or to play well
compressed video.  Let alone being fast enough to read and store
email, or whatever else.
 
I was fine with ISA (speed aside) until people started trying to make
it PnP.

And the docs I have make it look easy enough to build cards for.

But anyway, it doesn't really matter.
