I've just unearthed a Taxan GTS Ultra Pro 2MB ISA video card based
around the ATi Mach32 chipset.  Taxan's website has info on their
later models but doesn't seem to go back this far.  In the absence
of any sort of manual can anyone help me with DIP switch and jumper
settings?  I'd be extremely grateful for any additional information.

I expected that various ATi Mach32 utils from ftp.atitech.com
would probably help, but the card seems unwilling to give me any
video output - making setup difficult.

There are four jumpers at bottom right and a row of eight DIP
switches between the video memory and the VESA feature connector
at top left.   The part number is silk-screened onto the card
as 1090018940 but a sticker also claims 1021890142.

I expect that these switches and jumpers may well select between
VGA/SVGA/8514A or other modes - perhaps their current settings
are scrambled.

Many thanks,
  Neville Wilford
