DataCare (Tekram?) IDE FDD/HDD caching disk controller ISA with 1MB cache installed.

It correctly detected a 128MB CF card but I couldn't get it too boot off of it. I'll have to find an IDE drive and test it that way.

What looks like small scratches on the back side of the PCB (bottom left corner) is in fact some sort of glue residue.

Asking 90€ 85€ 80€ + shipping.

Edit: Small price drop.

Edit: Another price drop.

I think this is a Longshine LCS-6641. I have one too, which looks like this one. The screens are 100% the same. FWIW mine boots fine with CF cards.

Edit: I booted my 486 with the LCS, which shows an additional text above the box in the first screenshot. So it's not 100% the same, but very similar.

Finished testing the controller card. You actually do have to enter the parameters in motherboard BIOS as well. Maybe there is an option to skip that but I don't have the time to investigate futher. What's important is that the card works. Tested both IDE channels.
