I've recently came into possession of an old EGA card which appears to be have been made by Nel Electronics.
I've attached a picture of the exact card that I have (only difference is the label on my BIOS chip which reads: "EGA + P + M BIOS 5.94").

The attachment EGA card.jpg is no longer available

I was hoping that someone might have the jumper settings for this card.

NEL should be the same company as "Juko" if that helps.

Also, if it really does "1024" lines as stated on the BIOS chip, that would be a pretty impressive extended EGA card.

I have almost the exact same card (different BIOS, you have the 74LS74 populated and your main IC must be newer as well)

it's a good and fast EGA card , settings are here (not the same layout in the picture but it's fine) http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/graphics-cards/I- … TIMATE-EGA.html

Printer (LPT) could only be set to on or off, so not chosable between LPT1 or LPT2 with different adresses?

I recently set up a Turbo XT computer with this card. When I enable the LPT port according to the TH99 settings, the LPT port address duplicates with the existing LPT port of 378h and both of them work at the same time. I experimented a bit with the J5 and J6 jumpers and this is what I got:

J5 ON/J6 ON - LPT1 378h;
J5 ON/J6 OFF - LPT1 3BCh, existing LPT port becomes LPT2 378h;
J5 OFF/J6 ON or J5 OFF/J6 OFF - LPT port on EGA card is disabled.

This card is one of the best in terms of speed and compatibility compared to other EGA cards I have, but the black color it reproduces is washed out 🙁
