That is coincidentally one of my favourite cards, if it is being recognised
correctly. It shouldn't be attaching as a vga, though. So, I have a couple
of questions. If you pull the card out, does it have a Bt485a RAMDAC or
something else (probably a IBM561 or something.)
Anyway, if you look on it, it may have a jumper labeled VGA. If you change
the state of that does it work?
