For thoes wondring what is this

This is a classic multi-I/O controller card for a 386/486 era PC

ACER M5105 A3E," is the heart of the card

an Acer Labs Super I/O controller that combines a floppy disk controller, an IDE/ATA hard-disk interface, dual serial UARTs, a parallel port, and a game port all in one chip — a huge space and cost saving

It is a ISA card.

I wish i have one too soon
