I found this particular interesting VGA card (in the attachment) while I browse upon my local online shop, I wonder what kind slot is that? for me It looks like COASt slot, but could be is something else? I never seen it (I just know PCI, AGP, PCIe and VLB)
This is for the Abit PG5 motherboard, there's another slot just below the RAM slots where this card goes into.
If I recall correctly, Abit reused a COAST slot for this dedicated VGA card.
Proud owner of a Shuttle HOT-555A 430VX motherboard and two wonderful retro laptops, namely a Compaq Armada 1700 [nonfunctional] and a HP Omnibook XE3-GC [fully working :p]

thank you, learned something new...
now the silly things... I wonder, since those are identical 160-pin COAST slot, what if I put that card in (supposed to be) COAST slot, would it compatible? or those slot are addressed differently by different controller in the chipset?
Fry the motherboard and/or the card. So don´t.
I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
PS. If I upload RAR, it is a 16-bit DOS RAR Version 2.50.
