Neither the WR-1550e, or the PCR-1000, are built on ISA cards. Both these
models are external devices, that communicate to the computer via an RS232
serial port.

WiNRADiO does offer the internal card version, and as you say, it is on an
ISA card. Icom, to my knowledge, never offered an internal one. WiNRAiO
does make a shortwave receiver, on a PCI card...finally!

Icom ships the PCR-1000 with Bonito's software now.

I've always preferred the PCR-1000, over the WR-1550e. From a software
point, they both could use improvement.

Here is one thing that bothers the hell out of me why are these receiver
cards built on ISA cards instead of PCI cards? Who the hell has an ISA
card
slot in their computer? I mean come on PCI-X is almost here across the
board. ISA is ancient technology and its what keeps be from getting this
type of receiver.
