Hey all.
I purchased this Wang Labs 8-Bit ISA card ages ago and have only just gotten around to checking it out (mainly due to not having access to the rest of my... *looks around at the mess that is the study* equipment until now).

Like all things Wang Labs, I cannot seem to find much in the way of documentation regarding their PC compatible hardware. My first PC I ever played with was a PC-260 (286 running MS-DOS 5.00) when I was 9 years old so I have a weird fascination with the Wang. har har.
Now thats over with, we can be serious.
I cannot seem to find anything on this graphics card. Stason doesn't know anything about it, unfortunately, and google just has old articles about the PC-240 which it came from.
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find technical specs for this card, preferably something that can at least detail what each connection does and the dip switch on the backplane. Below is a few more pics...

I appreciate *anything* anyone can find. This old stuff has fascinated me ever since I first saw the Space Quest 1 EGA intro start up for the first time those many years ago...
Edit: I will note that it is based on the Paradise PEGA1A EGA chipset...
