I'd try to take it out and look at it.
Failing that, searching SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$CONFIG.DAT for "GY"
might narrow the field.
If you can get the PCI vendor and device IDs from the
console, then they might (identify a chip which would)
correlate with a model. ">>>show config"?
"sysman io show device"?
Some old cards had a DIP switch to select the resolution
and frequencies.

I wouldn't bet that there was _a_ standard graphic card in
them. And there was more than one PWS model. (Especially if
"P" includes "Professional" as well as "Personal".)

The software parts might be.
