This generic floppy controller card was part of an Elonex XT-clone PC. It uses the standard UM8272A controller chip capable of controlling up to four floppy drives. Somewhat unusually, the card has an external DC37 connector allowing the use of the second pair of drives (most manufacturers omitted the external port, assuming that users would not have more than two floppy drives in their PC).
