I have a question concerning a SUPER VGA card. The card contains
TRIDENT chips but I am unsure of the manufacturer. I bought it with no
documentation. I would greatly appreciate any help I can get. My current
board is dying and I am getting a little worried.
1. I am interested in knowing what the DIP switch settings are for each
of the different types of monitors (VGA,EGA,CGA) and any other
switch options.

2. I would also like to know who is the manufacturer of the board.
The only clue is the LOGO and SERIAL NUMBER (labels):
___
/ _ \
/ / \ \ SUPER VGA SA9044306
\ \_/ /
\___/
Also printed on the board was:
(TOP) HNG2YPTVGA16X159A
(BOTTOM) SUPER VGA-16 REV:D MADE IN TAIWAN R.O.C
3. I guess I would like any and all information about this board.
For anybody who might have documentation lying around here is a picture of
the board to remove any doubt as to what I have. All chips are not to
scale but close. I have indicated all the labeled chips.
