Eh, if that could be just that easy ! :]
Manual says 'ExpertBus' in the very same font as ExpertColor
series of graphic cards so manufacturer could be Dataexpert
(www.dataexpert.com.tw) but on their web site there's no
mention of ExpertBus.
Card has Motorola68000 and AecLab ATP8400A chips with four
SIMM sockets ...

Well, at least something _should_ be in /proc/bus/pci
regarding that card !?!
