If a normal PC had an ISA bus (like they did 30 years ago), my network card could have been connected to it with just some minor modifications.

not being pedantic, just rounding out the record, ISA's follow-on, EISA, had already been around a while and was already sunsetting 30 years ago because PCI had already been invented. VESA also was ending its brief flash of glory.

Funnily enough modern machines have ISA in form of LPC bus used for few of the common peripherals (TPM) that can be used in ISA-compatible mode, and you can get LPC to ISA adapters.

They do apparently have an spi bus inside the pcie standard. Don't know if it would be possible with that or not though.
