I am having trouble finding any information about this graphics card. This site (https://retronn.de/imports/hwgal/hw_graphics_ … 00ax_front.html) has a bit of info and a smattering of drivers, but no manual. Does anyone have any idea what the DIP switches are for? What about the jumpers? Its an ET3000AX and the side of the card say P/N 8830 Rev A.

Thanks!

Well, it's not the same card, nor has it the jumpers in the same place, but it has the same chipset ET3000AX
So maybe the dip switch settings of this card might help

It looks like those switch positions match something else I found for the original IBM EGA card, maybe they are standardized. I'll try it and see what I get. Thanks!

Hello,
I have a video card like this, but it came to me without BIOS chips. Where can I download BIOS contents? I have an EPROM writer so I could write these.
