Yep, Madge and IBM (obviously) made ISA boards. I believe they both made PCMCIA
cards too (IBM certainly did, I still have one somewhere). My old company were
exclusively 16Mbit token-ring up until about three years ago (and crying out
for leads on spare parts back then).
Support for anything other than a Windows/DOS PC was pretty much non-existant
though and as we started using more and more Unix hardware (and the odd Mac,
and Linux on x86) on projects I ended up throwing a bit of Ethernet into the
pot, and things gradually started going that way by the time I left.
