      That will add extra latency from USB. Old programs are not likely to be very tolerant of that.

        also most of those USB adapters likely won’t support true hardware switch interrupts, Direct Memory Access, or raw bus control to talk to other cards, which almost every special ISA card actually needs at least one of these to function.
