Thx!

I have a Hauppauge Win/TV-Prism (ISA bus) with the same header, it connects to the VESA feature connector of the main graphics card. Probably pass-through, hence the VGA connector on the Hauppauge card.

I think I have a pretty decent collection of cards and I own exactly one with something connected to the VESA connector. It is this EGA card...
I have no idea what the daughterboard does, but it is on a (TwinHead?) PCG Photon MEGA PLUS card that says it is for EGA/CGA/HGA/MDA, and the daughterboard also says 1987 PCG PHOTON on it. There isn't much on it that could identify what it is for. Sadly, I can't see what the frequency of the crystal is. It was either rubbed off or is on the side facing the board. If anyone has any clue as to what this would do, post here.
I think the only other VESA daughterboards I've seen attached to a card were the MPEG ones used on PCI cards. Obviously, this one isn't for MPEG video.
That isn't a feature connector but something else entirely. The pin count is different as is the gender of the connector.

Oh, you know, you're right... I didn't even notice that it had more pins than the VESA feature connector.
I guess we'll just leave this here as a warning that some old cards have things that are not a VESA feature connector... 😅
I am still curious as to what it does though.
