Some ISA boards probably could be interfaced to the Apple II bus just by translating the bus lines to the right place. The simpler they are, the easier they'd be.

Some of the problem is that even once you get the bus signals right, one has to deal with exotic hardware. A parallel or serial board would be relatively easy to interface software wise, but something more obscure, there might not be enough information about the hardware, the same thing happens today when trying to get Linux to run with the latest hardware.

I wonder if a video card or a NIC could be adapted.
