Sounds like a Matrox Millenium.
Details and drivers should be on the Matrox site.

Great card in its day, something of a museum piece these days.

There were different Milleniums. However ...

Details and drivers should be on the Matrox site.


.... I had little trouble finding the details on the Matrox site
when I got my junked 1995--1996 cards two years ago.

Still enough for everyday use, except the cards I got didn't have the
RAM required for 1600x1200 in 24-bit. Possibly they had problems with
1600x1024 in general, too.
