if I search for "Compaq 1024/E" I mainly find references to this card with a different graphics chip: http://vgamuseum.info/index.php/help-identify/item/155-compaq-128084-004-qvision-1024 while mine also has the Motorola SC02SH007DK04, they differ in amount of memory and different RAMDAC though. …

Yes. There's always a few on the Bay but prices are normally high as EISA VGA was probably the least used element of the bus. I got this privately as part of a bundle of PCI cards.

^Agreed (tho probably has too few posts to PM atm) - we really need to see a more detailed pic of the whole board & of the area with the 'missing' ICs. Problem is that these may not be missing at all - @RiPs board is an OEM version of the M5PE for IBM (it's the baseboard from a PC SERVER 300 - FRU …

Sorry, can find drivers for most Windows versions - NT, XP, Vista, W2K, W2k3, W2K8 - but not 9x 🙁 , despite the brief mention in the specs. Are you planning on using an HP backup/restore package, as maybe a 3rd party one might have 9x support.

None of this class of Adaptec card offers Win9x / ME driver support, and the only function of the 7815 (and 7810 before it) is to offload RAID processing. Even cards with a dedicated SCSI chip like the AAA-131U2 (AIC-7890 + AIC-7815) don't offer support. Adaptec Support Knowledgebase The Adaptec AAA …

Also probably worth noting that @Bambooz has hosted this since mid-2012 and that, to quote "This is hosted on a dedicated server, not some home-server crap that'll disappear in a couple weeks/months...and I'm permanently seeding the abit torrent from that server as well"
