Jason,
I have a card like that too. There's no same on it or the manual but
the description is the same. It even has the Cirrus Logic video Bios. It
has nine sets of jumpers near the center of the board and a single pair
toward one end. The floppy and IDE connectors are mounted vertically near
the center of the board. Let me know if you want to compare them and see if
they're the same. I have the manuals and software for mine.
