 I have what would seem to be a somewhat similiar , up untill now
unidentified card. It looked too interesting to toss (packrat
syndrome :^) ) . It's an Archive FCC ID: EAX6GP-SC400S with a 50 pin
internal connector and a 25 pin external ( SCCI ? ). It has several
jumpered pins but some could have come loose. For what it's worth the
jumpers are:
pins a9- a3 ...... pins a9 and a8 jumpered
pins kk,hh,ff,nn ..... pin kk jumpered
pins dd,y,cc..........center pins jumpered ( y ? )
IRQ pins2-7 .......... 5 jumpered
drq123 and dack 123 .... drq 1 and dack 1 jumpered

Don't know if this is any help, but if yours is similarly
jumpered it would confirm default jumpering.
 At least I now know what this board likely is. Thanks
I'll be following this thread. Good luck.

ciao Larry
