This is an 8 bit EGA monitor card. Would run 16-bit color EGA and TTL monitors. In use from the late 80's to today. This one has some strange features (see below).

At the top..

• a parallel card connector, perhaps for add-on memory, perhaps as a feature connector.
• A 6-pin plug -- plugs and sockets are marked "P" and "J" (for Jack) on cards.

  At the left of the card: 64K of memory (8 chips all marked "D41464C-12").

  At the center: a Paradize PEGA-1A controller chip.

• The end connections, top to bottom:
  • A set of switches. Most likely to allow emulation of B/W and CGA, and a variety of size settings for color. Many of these also allowed setting the primary video, so that a second monitor could be used.
  • Two RCA sockets. Often not connected, but just there to emulate the design of the IBM original. Could be rewired off the card to pins 7 and 1 of the video connector to provide 60Hz line video.
  • the monitor port (DB9 female socket)

  The connector strip at the bottom indicate that this is an 8 bit (ISA) card.

  There are two jumpers for who knows what.
