Anyone have an idea what this card could be? It got it in a ISA bundle, it looks like it's from 2005.

So, if you have both: you got some benchies to do! 🤣

I got a Gainward 7900 GS (20PS/7VS, hard locked).
Here's comparison of it to x850XT PE, and few other cards : LINK

@foey
plug it in a pci-e 1x slot and see what windows comes up with. The Spartan IC you photographed does not help since it's a FPGA and can have anything programmed in it

Found a picture of the card, not much details but maybe the category it's listed under gives you a hint.

Could be AMR slot?

Thank you, looks like the 6800 got some boost with later drivers, compared to old reviews it got closer with x850xt pe. 7900gs is quicker, no doubt. So Artex's 24/8 card should be even faster.
His card is the same as the 7950GT AGP which i have never seen in the wild.

It is listed under DVR but when is earch google for pci-e dvr card every single one of them has connectors.

I want to know what it is! 🤣

As it does not have interfaces it does some kind of processing partially implemented in the FPGA.
Maybe the chip under the heatsink/fan would give us a clue?

Just install it in a modern machine and see what windows comes up with. that's what i would do.

installing a damaged device is, contrary to what youre being told here, a rather bad idea;

As promised... Some pictures of the SCSI haul. I have only had power on the Lacie box, and it really need an overhaul.
The fan is loud and sounds like it is about to give up. I will try and give it some new oil, and see if it fixes it.
Need to tighten a coupe of screws and clean it up too. Two of the CD-Drives are tray, the Plextor is a caddy one.
Then there are a Tape drive, HP Branded, wich are one of those professional ones. No media sadly, so I can't test it.
Finally there are three controllers, wich one of the ISA ones have horrible bent pins, and there are a cable i needed.

Happy with this little SCSI haul.... Not bad for free stuff. Anyone knows what caddy to look for and is there anyone
here that knows anything about that HP tape drive? (I was thinking in terms of were and how to deploy it)

Splitting this up in two posts, as there are 8 pictures in all. Uhhh... Forgot... There is a terminator too. 😜
(does not come with Arnold included 🤣 )

This is going to be so awesomme, adding a complete SCSI setup onto my Unisys Pw/2 Series-300 80286 machine.

I've put it in my 2006 AMD-X2 build running Windows XP SP3, It comes up as an "Unknown device" It's not going near my main rig 🤣

pull the heat sinks off. I'm sure there something under there that would help. Could be a encoder card or something. If you take a look it has a header on the back of the card. Also Try something like PCI-z to see what it is.

Also as part of the bundle got this 1993 Cirrus Logic 5428 1mb VLB Graphics card. Have absolutely nothing to use this in 🤣

We really don't care, we just want to know what the pci-e card is!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 😁 😁

Cool.... VLB's are nice stuff. Those mem chips are giant ones. Exactly like those on my CL isa card.

OK, so I've taken off the small heatsink at the top which reveals the following chip...

I've also removed the heatsink and fan which reveals this...

The EFI chip appears to be a video controller chip; see for example this Ebay auction http://www.ebay.com/itm/Konica-Minolta-Bizhub … 1-/271979569052

EFI apparently is an industrial digital imagings manufacturer who make a variety of hard- and software: http://www.efi.com/. Perhaps the card comes out of one of their specialized systems?
