Ouch... This guy was obsoleted in 1996.

It's a apparently a simple EPLD/PAL. I found some apparent devices available from "Grey Market" sources.. But you would still need to know how it was programmed.

If it's an ISA bus card, it was probably used as an address decoder..

If this is something that must be maintained for any period of time, I would highly recommend sending the entire system to someone for reverse engineering.. Because likely most of the components in the system are now obsolete.
