take a look - it's an old midiman winman 2x2 midi port. It's made for windows 95 and i want to use it but when i cracked open my computer i realized that it definitely wasn't pci!

It's an old ISA card so basically you're screwed.

There are ways to make an ISA to PCI converter, some sites sell them:

However the issue is that you end up having to figure out how to code a converter program for yourself essentially, which for audio could get really messy. I did find this:

Where someone is talking about having an old Roland sound canvas card that they want to convert - but I have not read the whole thing, so I truly do wish you luck - but it will be an undertaking.

There are current motherboards with ISA slots. Mostly targeted at industrial markets where they have custom made hardware.
You'd come out way better just getting a USB MIDI interface.

Funny I just got my hands on an ISA to PCI adapter for an old joystick controller with MIDI port on it. It actually doesnt work half bad compared to USB. I can't tell the difference..
