Default Old ISA soundcard

Years ago, just before ISA was abandoned, I bought a very good sound card made by Terratec. I had the use of it for a couple of years, but reluctantly had to consign it to a box on a shelf, where it's been sulking ever since.
I've occasionally had a look for external ISA bus converters (plug into a PCI slot and lead a cable out, etc) and have been gobsmacked at the prices being asked, as they're for legacy industrial control cards that would cost a lot to replace and the price of keeping them going is worthwhile paying I assume.
However, there must be a more cost-effective solution, just that I've not come across one, and I can't be the only one with a great old card that wants to use it again.
Anyone got any ideas?
