Does anyone know where this card was found? Was it a system pull?

Presumably on a junk pile. Pin headers don't bend themselves. There's also some visible corrosion.
Hey guys, i know this is an old thread, but not as old as over on VCFED, here is my Color/Emulation card, from a Kingtech branded Compaq portable 1 clone, it has a DB9 connector used for the monochrome amber CRT, and
a second connector which isn't there on the other card in this thread, as well as the second bank of dipswitches, and some more components on board, guessing it was the higher end version! If you need more pictures, want to see the computer it was in, or need any tests or something run on it, let me know!

32kb of ram and an onboard parallel port
I had this early type but eventually burnt out due to six PAL ICs overheating with use that cooked the PCB under them turning individually brown spots.
One that was not smart buy was ATI Ultra ISA in 1993. Slow for games. Replaced that with Hercules Dynamite VL based on Tseng ET4000w32 i/p, yes i/p chipset, 2MB VLB card. The guy who promoted that Dynamite, but I couldn't find good informal reviews of selection of VLB cards back in that day in 1993, all I had is magazines with their biased reviews. I would had gone with cheaper chipset but still fast VLB card if I had known.
