Looking for info on this card. No branding, found in an old SE that was missing the hard drive. It looks like a video card, but not sure.
Has a TMS34061FNL chip, which according to google is a vintage Texas Instruments (TI) Video System Controller (VSC),

Interesting little part, I used a TMS34010 in my first video card for an ECL monitor back in 1989? (I think it was 1600x1200 BW).

Uploaded the data sheet for those that want to read more.

TMS34010 is a CPU designed for graphics. It was the basis of the "TIGA" graphics standard for PCs before VGA took over, and Midway/Williams used it in arcade games like Smash TV, NARC, and Mortal Kombat. TMS34061 is a video RAMDAC that was overshadowed by the common Brooktree parts.

That’s how I got my first job in hardware. I bought a TIGA card and wrote a display driver for Smalltalk/V on a 80286.

Over time I figured out how to load COFF files and use TIGA for acceleration.

Pretty sure the company that hired me looked at that on said shit hire him.
