Because the "Data-Modul" on the Left side it seems to be a IO Card.

But the WD90C24A2 is a Graphics-Chip.

so is Don't Know... has it a VGA Connector?

Don't suppose you could post a picture of the back of the PCB?

I'm coming up empty with data-modul BT 090, and I'm not easily finding a list of ISA cards that used WD90C24A2-ZZ chip. Maybe there will be an FCC number on the back?

^ correct

btw, the company "DATA MODUL" ( http://www.data-modul.com/eu/home.html ) makes specialized display systems and embedded stuff, so your card is probably something they made 20 years ago. Just be happy it works as a standard vga, don't hope to make use of the rest of the unknown connectors on it without the rest of the kit the card was a part of... 😉

I'm with keropi. I checked data-modul's site, and there's zero mention of that device on there. It's probably something that hit EOL eons ago.

looking at the top row of connectors, it may moonlight as a floppy + 2x IDE controller as well... ? 😀
The lower row must be for some control cable ?

IDE has 2x20 pins and i think this are 2x17 pins.

Maybe it helps to plug the Card in a Win95/98/2000 Machine and search for new Hardware.

Or an Linux System maybe it can detect the Rest of the Card.
