Why, if you don't have that system? It was pretty oddball, for sure. The
one thing I do recall about that card was that you plugged your monitor into
it rather than into the usual place. But that monitor was totally
non-standard, too -- it used a couple of different DIN connectors one of
which was for supplying power to the monitor, which had no AC cord.
