I swear to you, i tried this query with google yesterday:

"MODAM" "Memory Plus"

It always resulted in modem stuff. But today it results in real results that are relevant to MODAM, 68kmla is the first result. Strange. :O

Anyways, In the box was a cable with what looks like a VGA or Serial port on one end and the 8 pin connector on the other end. I didn't think anything of it, because it was in a ball of other cables, but it fits!

So here is my theory, it's not a card for graphics, because there are only three traces that connect the board to the motherboard. The other graphics cards had a PDS connector. I only have 3 pins on the one side and 8 on the other. However, three is enough for power and a serial connection, right? Could it be another serial port?

The oscillator on the board has two pins and is 14.3182mhz, if that is saying anything.

Is there any software that i can run that would identify the board somehow?
