No ADF needed according to Dave Keiller.

RV140,340 could be bias resistors needed
by the Brooktree Bt477s.
U260 looks like a linear switching power
regulator (like the Power Tech on the ServerGuard).
Magni PS/2 VGA Producer - Different Version
P/N 610-0103-02, 650-5146-02
This different version of Magni PS/2 VGA Producer showed up on ebay. The
seller had the card pair of a WD-9510-MC
along with a Magni Systems VGA Producer pulled from a 8570-161.
Note the 26-pin ribbon cable. It connects to a RAMDAC
clip-on module.
Notice the pin-header mounted AVE. This is the only known adapter to have an
off-set extension. The AVE can be used to capture output from the on-planar
video subsystem.
(all photos from ebay seller "ccex")
PLCC RAMDAC Clip-on Module
This clip-on module is designed for PLCC-44 RAMDACs compatible with
Brooktree Bt478.
The photo below shows the module installed on an
WD-9510-MC adapter.
Note: The early VGA Producer cards required a
socket mounted RAMDAC.The clip-on upside-down PLCC socket with eliminates this
problem.
Different clip-on modules were probably produced to accommodate various
RAMDAC types.
The 26-pin interface is most likely an output-only subset of the VESA
Feature Connector standard.
Note: While the WD-9510-MC — like many other
video cards — includes the Auxiliary
Video Extension (AVE), it cannot be used to capture video from the card
itself. This is because the AVE signals go only to the planar video subsystem
and there is no secondary AVE slot (or a BVE slot) on most systems —
including the 8570-161.
Magni Remote Control Unit "RCU" (from Dave Keiller)
I agree 99+% MCA adapters do require an ADF, but this card is an exception.
It only uses the computer for it's video support. I'll send a drawing of the
unit hook up. The card is used for video and graphic mixing, cutting, and
fading but software is not required or used.
