Common pitches for card edge connectors are 0.1", 0.125", 0.156", and
0.24". The ISA-bus connector is 0.1" pitch, so I'm willing to bet you
want a 0.156" pitch card edge connector.

You're lucky that you're in the same state with one of the best
distributors for card edge connectors, Digikey. Go to
http://www.digikey.com/
and you'll find that EDAC and Sullins make edge connectors like what
you want, with your choice of solder tail or solder eyelet terminations.
For your use, it sounds like you want to put wires on the edge connectors,
so I'm guessing that you want the solder eyelet termination, in which case
you want EDAC 305-020-520-202, Digikey EDC307200-ND, which will cost
you exactly $1.98.
