FIY, this looks rather like a Hercules/MDA card to me -not EGA. (It has a single 16Mhz oscillator and most likely a parallel port as well.)
 
most likely a Herc, since someone felt the need to put 64KB on it... EGA requires 112K (so 128K) to display it's 640x350x16c mode. (and I believe anything more than 32K is wasted on CGA, which also uses the same 9-pin connection)

and yes, I believe that SiS 82C11 is the controller for the parallel port. (and JP2 probably enables/disables it...)

Yes, upon taking a better look at the card it is obvious it's a Tamarack TD3010 (Hercules Clone card), which is rather strange for an 486 motherboard with VLB slots, I wonder why. :)
