An ISA video card? Who's selling it? The Smithsonian?
Enjoy your new card! :)
Ya, guess I should have thrown out that box a long time ago! ISA, EISA, VESA ! Ah the good old days. ATI was quite popluar then - ATI Wonder series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forget selling them - maybe the Smithsonian would buy them :)
FINAL OUTCOME - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Pleased to report it all worked out perfectly right out of the box:
The old 1GB 5760 card it replaced is now in another WIn 7 machine also working well (in turn replacing a 256MB HD 5450).
