I have edit the post can you see the picture of JMC-550?

I can see the thread and the thumbnail, yes. Full image still requires a logon. If it's your own photo you could just reupload it here.

Damn, what a chonker. Definitely predates any I have experience with.

Thank you for the helpful information.

This is why I fully documented and archived the Cardinal SNAPplus a few years back (which I used extensively back in 1992-93 on a 386 system). The early 1990s was flush with high end ISA video capture/graphics overlay cards that were trying to compete with NewTek geared Amiga systems and the like. Unfortunately, many of these unique and expensive cards did not get archived properly because of the small audience. Most got tossed by companies that could afford them and finding them CIB/NIB on auction sites can be challenging. The SNAPplus, for example, is essentially useless for its video graphics overlay features if the included video cables are not present, which is often the case. Luckily, I was able to find CIB and NIB variants to archive the card's assets, but it took a few years to get it all gathered in one place. If anyone on this forum does come across these video capture beasts CIB/NIB and it's affordable, I think it's worth the effort to archive even though they may never be used for their intended purposes again. Some models have video output integrated for an all-in-one solution and some require a secondary display card.

No, they will not work. The SNAPplus uses a completely different chipset, but your post is a good example of why some of these lesser known cards need to be documented and preserved before they disappear completely and the disks become unreadable. Hopefully, you can find and image a disk set in the future that will work with your card. I would keep checking the usual auction sites, but also check local ads in Craigslist or something similar. I found the NIB SNAPplus through Offerup.com. Persistence finally scored me the prize.

Thank you very much for your helpful information,and I will keep looking for the drivers,if I find it I will upload to this site.

Checked their old website on Wayback - https://web.archive.org/web/19981111185635/http://yinhe.net/ - and although they mention later JMC series boards, there's nothing on the JMC-550 🙁

The site does contain quite a few zip archive files (drivers etc) but again none obviously for the JMC-550...(use the filter box top right to limit for search strings / file types - https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://yinhe.net/* ).

This seems to be a company history (in Chinese) which mentions the JMC-550 from 1993 - https://www.baike.com/wikiid/3163675685613966192?anchor=1

Thank you for your reply,I have already searched the website http://yinhe.net/ but I found nothing there and I tought the JMC-550 capture card might be a plagiarism product of other brand.
