This card may do so too, in fact when I tried to use pcdisplay at isa, I
got a panic: pci_display_console: unconfigured device at 0/11/0, which
is indeed that card. First I forgot to remove the vga at isa* (and/or at
pci*, I don't quite remember), and I got panic: cia_swi2_mem_write_8 not
implemented. That sounds interesting although I'm not quite sure what it
means practically, and since pcdisplay is apparently not supposed to be
"at pci" it may mean nothing at all.

And when booting with 2 (different) vga cards installed, I got a machine
check.
