>>59583123

That's for joysticks and shit, thats an antique cirrus logic PCI card. Nice.
You'd have a second slot with just the external facing port that has a ribbon cable back to it.

Raspberry Pi compatible GPIO pins.

most often option connectors for MPEG decoder boards, in an age before CPUs had the horsepower for things like real-time video, >>59583311 describes it pretty well in a way I never actually thought of for some reason, the only MPEG decoders/capture boards/etc in discrete PCI/ISA board I've come across in the wild usually just go through VGA and take over the monitor exclusively when needed

that thing is from 1996 you fucking retard
>>59583237
that was more the domain of sound cards and discrete controllers, some cards did offer game ports but it wasn't the norm
