  As I recall, it wasn't just that the slot connectors were different
-- so were the brackets where the slot cards reach the back of the
case.
  So even if the mounting holes for the motherboard lined up
(possible but improbable), and the slot spacing were the same
(possible but improbable), I don't think any ISA, EISA or PCI cards
would fit.
