as for the video card. I looked it over very carefully and theres nothing except the NEC chip to give a hint of what it it. I tried it with that XT motherboard and a CGA monitor. I got nothing except when it was plugged into the upper most port. when it was connected there upon hiting the power switch the screen got noticely brighter but thats it.
If there are no EPROMs on the board, then I suspect that you'll get nothing unless you have the drivers for the board--that might be a tough one--especially if the board can't be identified with any certainty.
It's quite likely that display drivers for this board were produced specifically for a given package, such as AutoCAD or Ventura Publisher and not for general-purpose use.
