I've bought a few cards recently from scrap lots. i know more or less what I have but I' having trouble figuring out specs of these cards and in what systems they can go in.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

A fixer of things. I also broke those things.
Looks like you have a Hercules Tseng Labs VLB et4000, another Tseng Labs VLB card and a couple Cirrus Logic xards. All good in 486 systems.
Main pc: Asus ROG 17. R9 5900HX, RTX 3070m, 16gb ddr4 3200, 1tb NVME.
Retro PC: Soyo P4S Dragon, 3gb ddr 266, 120gb Maxtor, Geforce Fx 5950 Ultra, SB Live! 5.1
Those are very good VLB VGA cards. Assuming they work.
I/O, I/O,
It's off to disk I go,
With a bit and a byte
And a read and a write,
I/O, I/O
The Hercules card is either Dynamite D901, D902, Pro or Power (can't narrow it down more than that yet)
The Genoa GD5426 based card is an 8500VL, good for Win 3.1 with 24-bit colour
The bottom two I can't identify. The bottom card is interesting, I've never seen a VGA card with i/o device support 😀
See my graphics card database at www.gpuzoo.com
Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.

VLB SCSI card. Goes into a system with VLB slots which would mostly be a 486.

ISA BNC/AUI network card, probably NE2000 compatible (trash as it doesn't have RJ-45)
1+1=10
The last one is apparently made by Prolink.
Here are the jumper settings for it

Would you knew what chips I could put in the banks?

Any situation where I'd use the Genoa over the hercules card?

Based on other cards of the same type (GD5428 based) , I believe you could put 8 chips like the Samsung KM44C256AP or equivalent (256K x 4bit fast page mode DRAM chips) which would give an additional megabyte of memory (for a total of 2 megabytes) . You should use the same speed rating (or faster ) as the memory that is already present ( I can't make out the markings on the 2 included RAM chips, but it is probably probably 70 or 80ns ). AFAICR, it is the same type of memory you would use on a non-PnP Gravis Ultrasound .
