they had cards like that to output video fx from the computer to the VHS tapes, but I don't think thats what its for... sound and vga in and composite video out? Arcade machine seems more likely.

Of course it is, most of the chips and the circuit board are manufactured in year 1992, week 35 or near it.
Gee, is numbering things by a two-digit year and a two-digit week of manufacture a common practice?
What struck me as odd was that it was written in relatively large characters and in a unique typeface.
Jorpho, check your own hardware, 90% of parts have this 4-digit code.
Well, there's no shortage of pics of PCBs hereabouts. I don't seem to see anything like that on, say, the Sound Blaster cards in this thread.
I would have said it's more likely that "01020205830009" is either a product part number/UPC or a serial number, but Google has no results so far.
9239 or whatever is definitely a datecode.

I have this card and i need to know if anyone knows the brand or model of it. It's an Adlib clone with midi port, VGA pass through and video out (i think, never tested).
Thank you.
I can't directly find anything via Google Image Search. All that comes up is this forum topic and some visually similar images, including this thing:
The 4.433619MHz crystal - is PAL colour subcarrier frequency - unless they use this for other things as well, so I'd guess conversion to composite video - maybe it came from one of those combined PC/TV systems
The bottom picture is a Macintosh SE motherboard. I've seen enough of those to not even have to look it up.
