Hey guys, I was making a list of all the graphics cards I've owned and I've stumbled on this
73497988-266025964315199-4388790173681319936-n.jpg

I can't find anywhere this model of the S3 Trio 64 V2/DX. It appears that the manufacturers logo is either "EJRB" or "BRB" or "ESRB"... I can't figure it out.
I also own a sound card from the same manufacturer! It is an ESS Audiodrive ES1868F

So who is this mysterious manufacturer?

PC2😜 III 800MHz, MS-6178, 256MB SDRAM, 3DFX Voodoo3 2000 PCI, Creative CT4810
PC3😜 MMX 200MHz, SY-5EAS5, 128MB SDRAM, Diamond Monster 3D, Diamond Viper V330, ESS 1868F

There seems to be a code which might be a product number hidden behind the VESA feature connector on the first pic.

Also: no FCC ID or similar on the rear by any chance?

Yes, it is "PT-5913-3"

Nothing at the back of the card. Only a warranty void sticker, a "Made in China" and a "V1.1" sticker.

Googling that "PT-5913-3" I find a few references to the card but no manufacturer, probably a wholesaler stuck in same situation as you are.

Not so sure. Pine was a SiS-only shop around that time, and their cards had names like PV-S03A - not just a different letter but different formatting too.
