Dan,
Look at the chips on the card, especially the big controller chip (should
be one of the largest). Do a google for the chip number (say DEC21140). You
might have to do a little detective work with any silkscreened numbers/letters
on the card (look at the other side too). It took me most of an afternoon to
find out what an old ISA card of mine was - a Longshine something or other. I
was googling for chip numbers in combination with various things silkscreened
on the card when I happened on a web site that had the same logo as the card
did. From there I could identify the card and find the DOS configuration
utility (no jumpers). All in all, your best bet is google. You might have
better luck with www.google.com/linux or www.google.com/bsd - they seem to have
more hits on chip numbers. However the Longshine hit was on the main google
site and didn't show on a Linux search.
How's that for a non-committal I-don't-know-go-ask-someone-else answer for you?
