How do ISA riser cards work, on classic/vintage PCs with available ISA slots? For instance, do they fit into an existing ISA or PCI slot horizontally, and then allow you to fit additional ISA cards vertically into the riser card than the maximum number of ISA slots the vintage PC supports, without the riser card? For example, my classic gaming/MIDI PC has 2 ISA slots, but if I bought a ISA riser card, would it allow me able to support up to say 3-4 ISA cards in the same PC, instead of only 2? Not sure exactly how it would work, can't seem to picture it in my mind, 🤣. And are classic DOS games able to successfully detect and work with ISA riser cards?
Also sorry if this comes across as a very basic or newbie question; unfortunately, I am rather inexperienced, when it comes to operating hardware 😊
