I bought a "Netrome Security Black Box". It has a camera card. It was designed to operate in windows.
The card is supposed to set up 8 camera devices for access by security software. Apparently it has the same IDs as the DigiFlowers card

The card creates floppy disks in my /dev folder when I install it.

Here is the output from dmsg, ls /dev, and sudo lspci -v with the card in the computer:

and here is the output from dmsg, ls /dev, and sudo lspci-v with the card not in the computer:

lspci -vvknn has this to say about the card:
-01:00.0 Multimedia video controller [0400]: Device [1999:a900] (rev 01)
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=slow >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
Latency: 64
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 9
Region 0: Memory at d2000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=1K]
So there is no module assigned to the device, but however, it still registers as a series of floppy block devices.
Any help on how to get something to work would be appreciated. Currently it's just setting up a bunch of floppy devices which will not mount as filesystems, and I do not posess the knowledge to read from those devices as a character device.
How would I proceed to obtain more information on this card?
