LSI L1A9765 ISA VGA Video Card Brooktree DB-15 1997 Windows 95 98 Legacy
The LSI L1A9765 is a full-length ISA bus VGA video card built around LSI's own L1A9765 ICFAA controller chip, with Brooktree secondary ICs onboard. Manufactured in Korea in late 1997, this card was designed for desktop PCs equipped with ISA expansion slots running MS-DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95, or Windows 98. It provides standard VGA output through a rear-bracket DB-15 connector.

Applications
ISA VGA video cards like the LSI L1A9765 were standard equipment in IBM-compatible desktop PCs throughout the early-to-mid 1990s, before PCI graphics cards became the dominant standard. ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) was the legacy 16-bit expansion bus inherited from the IBM PC AT, and cards like this one were a primary way to add or upgrade display output on machines from that era. By the late 1990s, ISA slots were being phased out in favor of PCI and AGP, making cards like this among the last generation of ISA graphics hardware produced. Today, they are sought after for retro PC builds, vintage computing restoration, and legacy industrial or embedded systems that still rely on ISA-bus motherboards. The Brooktree chip presence suggests possible video capture or multimedia capability in addition to standard VGA output — Brooktree was well known for producing video digitizer and frame-grabber ICs used in multimedia cards of this era. This card is compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 3.x, and MS-DOS environments on ISA-equipped systems.
This LSI L1A9765 ISA VGA Video Card has been tested and is in good working condition. The card is clean overall with light shelf wear typical of used ISA-era hardware. The PCB, edge connector, and DB-15 VGA output bracket are all intact with no visible damage.
