That is a nice find of the ad! There is very little to find about this "Gold Card" unfortunately. Would be nice to find some information about the switch settings, though there is some printing on the pcb. I have attached some pictures of the card. Hm, you may have seen this on archive.org - Taxan …

Nice - never really heard about that 'Taxan Gold' card, although given the chipset I suppose we can make an educated guess at its capabilities. There's one ad where its 640x400 mode is named "TGA"...
