If you have a PS/2 port, serial ports, or a parallel port, then you 
have "ISA" (it's really built-in to the southbridge, but ISA is the 
programming interface provided).

Also, other things on laptop mainboards that are connected to the "LPC" 
(low pin count) bus (which is really just ISA by another name) have the 
ISA programming interface.
