Only the card and this email from Iterated:

Unfortunately, we no longer offer or support the drivers for the FTE100.
If they were available, depending on the speed of your PC (specifically
Pentium class), you would probably determine the FTE100 impaired rather
than improved the compression performance compared to a software only
compressor. In its era, the FTE100 significantly improved the image
compression time.
