I peeled the IMS sticker off of the main (I assume) chip on the card and after scraping off the VOID (no biggie I guess since they're out of business) goo, I found the following: PLX Technologies Inc. 1995 F6X0 129 PCI9060ES REV1 There is also another same size chip next to it that says: NEC Japan D98401GD 961RK003 Guess I should I try both of these vendor?
