Hi,
What is this STB card with IBM chip?
Is it pure MPEG2 decoder or card with basic 3D acceleration?

Are drivers available for download?
For what use are 3 big internal connectors?

I is predecessor or ancestor of the MPACT card from STB? Internal connectors are similar:

Definitely a MPEg-2 decoder. Probably not related at all to the other card you linked to.... just that the connectors are the same because those are the connectors required to interface with common video cards for video output. Anything from that era that wanted to ouput something via the video card would likely have those connectors...

As for drivers... I dunno. Maybe Google the IBM chip part number(s) and see what comes up..?
