I posted that a couple days ago. You can't use it like that, its for backing up files or transferring files. and requires a device driver. works in dos and win 3.11

Has anyone have experience with those ALIexpress PCI to isa cards

I believe it may be possible, but I cannot guarantee 100%.
Exactly today I had similar problem: how to install newest Slackware on the older gear that has no option for booting from USB stick? I've found a solution there, which I quote below:

  1. Go to this website and download the latest stable package (Plop Boot Manager).
  2. Write the ISO file into a blank CD
  3. Boot the computer from the CD drive
  4. Choose the USB option from the list

Guys, it works (Plop Boot Manager 5.0.15)! At least it worked for me. I cannot guarantee it'll work for you, since I'm not 100% sure it'll be able to find USB on ISA slot; never used such exotic USB-adaptor before.
