Thanks, Harry!

In the end I obtained a pc/104->isa adapter and an isa pc/104. 

Of course just to be a pain in the arse the ISA adapter, being the full
16 bits, is too long for the SBC board and hits the heatsink on the CPU!
Doh! Still, if I don't quite push the card in the entire way it all
works fine. However I'm probably going to get a dremel and cut the
converter down to an 8-bit ISA bus!

On an equally off-topic note, I am currently investigating an Xscale
board which seems to be more than a match for a celeron-400 board! Its
neat to see the intel linux app more or less just cross compile and run,
too!!!
