I just got a card from another collector who couldn't get it working, but I'm giving it another chance.

It's a Vesa Local Bus VLB card, wit IDE, Floppy, 2x serial, parallel, and 50 pins SCSI connectors. The SCSI chip reads "Artop ATP9300". The cards works for two IDE devices on the IDE channel. , floppy (3.5"+ 5.25"). It has 4 simm 30pin memory slots for cache memory.

When used, it states at boot the SCSI channel reads "warning, check jumpers". Do any of you know this card, and what can cause this error?

At the 50pin sSCSI channel, a Yamaha CDRW drive is connected with the terminator jumper set.

There are no Term resistors on the card, they would go in the holes below the 50pin connector (both ends of a scsi chain have to be terminated). Most of the jumpers are written on the card except for a few. Is very hard to read things on the right side of card, the left side in your picture is very clear.
Can you pull the ram off and take another picture ? Artop marketed a few cards but is hard to tell which exact card it is and what all the jumpers are for.

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun
