Hey Everyone,
I know some of you are interested in old video cards. I have a few for sale. Send me an offer if interested.
First is a Metheus Card (don't know model #) and the second is an Elsa XHR Orion.
Thanks,
Tim. |

Sale only. I will test soon and most likely post them up on ebay with additional pictures of the connectors. Each has a single D-Sub type connector.
Thanks,
Tim. |

| Those ELSAs were ridiculously expensive back in the day, but much needed to run CAD. |

Then it's not VGA but more likely EGA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Graphics_Adapter. Or something even more specific (Sun used DE-9 for monochrome display at one point). |

There was actually a 9-pin connector for VGA. Besides one of the cards has a "VGA BIOS" sticker.

To the OP: you may have better luck listing the cards on other websites such as Vintage Computer Forums or Amibay where people are looking for computer parts rather than electronic components. |
