Shared PCI/ISA Slot
If you look at the picture above, you will see two slots, an ISA slot and a PCI slot. The problem is there is only one expansion slot available on the back of the case. With this expansion slot you can choose either to use an ISA card or a PCI card, but not both. That is the reason it is called a shared PCI/ISA slot. You must choose one, or the other type of expansion card. This is a good place for a modem since modems are about 50/50 ISA and PCI. Below is a picture of an ISA modem.
