Gentlemen,
Been lurking here for a while but now I have a reason to post... I'm trying to restore a Deskpro286 and got myself a Video card recently. Unfortunately I cant find any documentation out there on it at all.
Its some kind of "Ventura CHROMA 200017 Video Card TSENG ET4000AX Gold Turbo 2.0". Has anyone heard of this card or do any of these jumbled words make sense? what the heck is the "Turbo 2.0"? It has a composite output but I'm not able to get that sucker working. Also, it had a sticker on a chip that said "Pal 206" which leads me to believe this is for over the pond use. under the sticker I found the markings pal16l8dcn.
On a side note, I this is replacing an EGA card that I have which DOES output to composite in grayscale if someone wants to make an offer, let me know. Its an Everex EV 659A with some odd feature card slapped onto it. I am pretty sure that feature card is what is enabling the composite output to work. the feature card has "ATWOOD RESEARCH GSC-EP" on it. Also, what came in the deskpro286 that I purchased was a teleprompter card "Telescript PC Prompter Controller Interface made in the usa 125-401 rev a".
