Actually my particular card is a Diamond TrackStar-E (revision 2.1). I
picked it up a few years ago and never really had much of a chance to
tinker with it. It's a full length ISA card, though I'd have to pull it out
to compare it against yours.
From what I remember I tried installing it in a 486 and couldn't get
the video to sync. My card, being older, only supports a CGA video
port and I tried connecting it up to a CGA class monitor. Come to
think of it, it's possible it could be EGA video. At the time I figured
it would need to be installed in a slower PC/XT class machine.
