Any pictures of the back? Made in USA, so might be an FCC id.

No markings on back (just date code), no FCC.
All chips and markings are on front.

Hello there Dear Vogons.

I got two same cards:
http://mally.tim.com.pl/8bit_isa/nieuru ... _3(!!).jpg
http://mally.tim.com.pl/8bit_isa/nieuru ... _4(!!).jpg
Isa 8bit, DB25 female connector, two SRAM's, some PAL's.
What Are they? I thought about RS232 but there is no UART or I/O ic's like '188 or '189.
Does any one know them and how to configure jumpers?
I know i can set interrupts 3,4,5 and 7 by first set of jumpers.

Many thanks in advance.

Visually it looks like interface cards for RIP or DTP prepress film imagesetters maybe AGFA Highwater Imagesetter?

I'm not so sure, there is no CPU of any kind on my cards. Also DB connector has only 25pins (female type). Not mentioning they have only 8bit ISA connector.

Maybe yes - maybe no

Here is AGFA interface card from 1993 - yours are 1989

If we look closer...
- there is no CPU (only interface controller from ZILOG)
- DB37 connector while yours DB25 (maybe early type - at last IMAGESETTER interface is SCSI derivative and 25 pins are OK)
- Imagesetter Interface 1993 is ISA 16 but yours are ISA8 (4 years early - why not?)
- look at the SPARE places on both 1993 and 1989 cards
