The board is not detected in the isa slot on windows xp. There are no drivers, no board name. What Windows to put?

Question

Iron

I bought a necrocomputer with an isa connector on the motherboard. It has windows xp on it.
There is a board with three connectors: telephone input, ethernet and vga with pins like a monitor (you can’t connect a monitor to it, the connectors are the same). I can’t say for sure what it is, but one optical thing clings to it through this vga connector, which is used in training shooters from pneumatic weapons. Those. I need it to be determined and work, but now it seems to be gone.
How to do it? What Windows to put? Are there any universal drivers? What to set in bios?

Answer 1

God, ISA! A hundred thousand years have not seen devices on ISA! :) (Yes, I remember them. Yes, I know the principles of their configuration)
DB9 is a COM port, the monitor has nothing to do with it.
You rewrite the brand of chips - and go ahead, google.
True, you most likely will not be able to launch it if you do not find the manufacturer's website and firewood. Because ISA devices are configured strictly manually . I don't need anything about PnP - it never really worked on ISA, the port and interrupt were always set manually.
Therefore, without a configurator program for this piece of iron, you will not go anywhere.
First you need to release the interrupt (in BIOS) - that is, give it to ISA
Then run the configurator (usually it starts up in DOS so that nothing interferes with working with the equipment, but if there is a configurator for Windows, you can use it) and specify the port and interrupt to the hardware, usually they are not manually entered, but are selected from the list that the configurator knows.
And only then - install firewood in Windows, and again manually, and then install software that should detect this monster.

Answer 2

ISA is not about PnP. For it, you need to install the driver manually and prescribe ports, DMA, etc. as needed.

Answer 3

Well, for example, you can try to look for what kind of fee it is, since the purpose is known.
For example, here's a quick Google gave:
