You will need one of the following cards:  A4977A (PCI), A4450A (GSC), or A4451A (GSC dual head).  Part numbers are listed below.  You will also need an EVC to 15-pin converter for all of these cards and that part number is listed below also.  All of this info came from partsurfer.hp.com (no "www" in front of it).  There is a PCI EG card for sale on Ebay:

Looks like Cypress Tech ( sales@cypress-tech.com) have some of the A4450A GSC cards, but I've never had any dealings with them.  Their prices on Ebay seem high though.   Good luck.

Hello Derek and all,

Thank you for your assistance.  Thank you Grant, too!

You already tested this card (Vis EG HSC) on your HP-Visualize C360 machine. The X-Windows system should be started in this case.  

Can you say me please, where can I find/order and buy this card?

Thank you very much,

Kind regards, Zlatan

Yes, there is an HSC EG card.  Used it in my C360 before I sold it.  The PCI version of the card has more memory on it though.

yes. *PCI* version of the card.
Vis-EG HSC card might also work.

Is that really a Vis-EG HSC card?
Can you post "dmesg" output where STI describes the card?
