Does anyone know what this ISA VGA card is? VGATERM PN 602120 with a WDC WD90C00-JK. I am having a hard time finding anything about it. It would be nice to know what all the dip switches on the back are for.

That's what it is--WD90C00-JK on 16-bit ISA bus. OEM by Colographic Communications (silk screened on PCB)
WDC VGA 16 (WD90C00-JK)
It has a DE-15 and DB-9 for VGA monitors.
I'm guessing it could be aka "WD Paradise" or similar to that.
Some hints on DIP settings might be on these:

Nice, it should be compatible with the Paradise PVGA1A/PVGA1B eco system then.
Which means, it can be used with drivers or applications supporting the Paradise VGA.
Like, for example, Paradise's Windows 2.x 640x400x256 driver from the GUI Gallery page. 😀
