I had a multi-I/o card that did 2 serial, 1 parallel, 1 game, SuperVGA
(Cirrus Logic 5424 I think), IDE and floppy all on one card. But it was a
VLB card. I used it in my 486SLC I had at the time. I don't remember who
made it. It was "generic" -- no name printed on the card, and all of the
large number of jumpers where labelled "JPx" so it was quite difficult to
reconfigure without the manual.
