another here
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Siemens-Nixdorf-S26361 … 2-/400315757103
presumably comes from a siemens-nixdorf pc, could be something on the fujitsu site.
also this:
https://forum.ts.fujitsu.com/forum/viewtopic. … hp?f=19&t=18494
which suggests it might come from a Scenic PRO M5 [though the fujitsu downloads don't seem to list a chips & technologies graphics option]

The only thing strange is the DVI connector. The card seems too old to have one.

Plugged into a machine yet? Or is this a picture from someone else? What machine does it come from?
Try a Linux Live CD and see if it gets detected. \
Seeing it's from Siemens Nixdorf you want to search on German sites. Likely to find more information there.

I don't think it is DVI... it is indeed too old, plus something looks a little odd about the connector.
Those C&T chips were designed for driving specialized displays... mainly they were used in laptops, but some did show up on PCI cards for running flat panels (especially in medical equipment), signage, stuff like that.

Wikipedia says that DVI was created in 1999.
Do you know the manufacturing date of this card?
Maybe it's not a DVI port after all (although it really looks like one!)
PS: The vgamuseum site mentions "Bayview50/52 LVDS". Mmmm, maybe it's a port for some strange LCD panels or something like that.
LVDS is not used in DVI. It uses TMDS instead.

Ooops, Old Thrashbarg posted while I was typing my message!
Maybe it would be nice to have an alert when this happens?
I've seen the feature in other forums. It could come handy in these situations.

The seocnd link I posted has someone actually with one, driving an LCD display from a fujitsu PC. They bought out Siemens nixdorf and would be the legacy support site...

Most likely it's not a 3D accelerator, probably just a basic 2D framebuffer with some Windows acceleration functions.

LVDS? isn't that the kind of connection displays such as the SGI 1600SW used back then? If so, it might be a card like the NO9 Revolution IV that was designed to drive special displays like that one
