Hello, good evening,

I'm speaking under correction, but..

The Zymos Poach 51 AA was a clone of the Trident TVGA 8800CS.
http://old.vgamuseum.info/benchmarks/606-zymo … oach-51-aa.html

As for the card itself, I believe it is a daughter card of some sort.

The edge connector could be a VESA/VGA feature connector,
while both of the gray connectors are ISA.

- This was pretty common in the 80s, I believe.
Some ISA cards had solder points above their ISA connector,
so another card could be mounted on them in a piggyback way.

Often I wished that people kept this idea.

This card is designed to work with industrial single board computer. I have two of those with matching connectors.

Those edge connectors, looks like ISA slots in a different form.... Might be hackable to some degree, if you really want to fire it up.

That's an unusual form factor. Definitely unique compared to PC/104.

Hey, thanks for the link. So I my mind didn't play tricks on me when I saw that Paradise VGA daughter board once..

And the "ISA" connector...lloks like it would fit to the pin1 on a GUS classic...but there is a jumper block in between.

Maybe the GUS classic had such a piggyback header, too ? (I'm no GUS owner, sadly).

Stojke's card has 18+31 pins a 2 rows (36+62). That's 98 of overall pins.

According to Wikipedia, that's exact the same pin count as ISA has:

(German Wikipedia, since it has a table with specs)

This is old topic but I have the same card and it is mounted in Siemens Nixdorf PCD-3Bsx.
