Yes, I went through the bios carefully looking for anything relavent to the ISA slot and found nothing. The one thing I did try was to disable PCI (since the only thing in there is the one ISA)
That made no difference.
Oh yes, before I put the card in I check device manager for IRQ and MEM use and set the card for clear space, IRQ7 and MEM C400. On the GX1 I would then expect to see 'ab' (thats what the system calls it, the card is an Allen Bradley 1784KT which communicates with a PLC5) shown at those locations
Did you check the BIOS for any options related to ISA card?
BTW if you have to move to GX260 and you have Windows, you can just run Sysprep and tell it to preinstall the mass storage controller drivers. That way you can swap motherboards and not have to reinstall from scratch

Seems to be solved.
I've just kept trying different combinations of mem address and interrupt.
CC00 and IRQ7 work for my Allen Bradley KT1784 ISA card in this GX240
Device manager really gave no help in identifiying 'free' mem window
It was just try, try ,try until application was able to see the card
