I bought this card a while ago on ebay (CGA - III / P)
It kind of fitted in my turbo XT case, but since I moved the motherboard into an AT case it's a much tighter fit. Of all the ISA cards I've encountered, this one definitely seems to be non-standard: the part of the pcb with the bracket seems to be too long, and the pins don't align properly with the ISA connector on the motherboard (they're actually off by one pin). I had to remove a screw from one of the 2 motherboard spacers, and try to push the mobo as far back as possible from the case slots. Now it fits but it's really tight and I don't like the amount of flexing on the motherboard (see picture).
Have any of you ever had to deal with such cards and if yes, did you manage to mod them?
