Does anyone know where i can buy one of these ISA boards?

Or does anyone have one they would be willing to sell?

I know Jameco used to have them, but they don't anymore.

One small wiring mistake and there goes your ISA bus. Actually a store in Toronto has the short ones, you could attach a small solderless breadboard.
You can't realistically even work on the thing, constant removal and insertion will stress those ISA connectors, you can't work on when its installed either.

PS don't do it, use a serial port and a microcontroller.

Would it be possible to create a Graphical Matrix. Then you have a configurable board ?

I have something similar from a Company Called (Clearone) audio mixer. They used to sell (Getner.)

I am not too concerned about that. I have quite a few computers with ISA slots, and i have an unlimited (almost) supply of computers with ISA slots.

Not true. I have at least 3 or 4 computer that have the ISA buses on a daughter board. Like this;

Yeah, but i need to learn how to use them first.

There is a bit of a learning curve when there is nobody to learn from (free).

The old Peter Norton PC Bible had same ISA stuff in it.
