Bought this recently from ebay - seller didn't seem to know it was a video card so it looked like it was untested, but I took the risk anyway.
I put it in a 286-12 machine and hooked it up to an IBM 5153 monitor. I turned the computer on and got no display for around 5 or 10 seconds, then the PSU switched itself off (probably going into "protection mode" if that's what it's called). I looked online for the dip switches settings and changed a couple of them, then tried once or twice more, but the PSU refuses to switch on if the card is present in the system (BTW this particular machine works fine with other EGA or VGA adapters).
My untrained eye can't see anything wrong with the card physically, but I thought I'd take a few pictures and ask here.
