Chances are that this is possible. I did it for the maxistudio isis.
You'll need a multimeter with a beep function and some common sense
knowledge of which connections are most likely.
Most PCI cards are 4 layer PCB's with power and ground distribution on
the inner layer. This means that the signal traces are on the outside of
the board, so you can use a magnifying glass to trace them. Using a
digital camera with proper lighting works even better. You make a
picture of the piece of board you want to analyze (of both sides of
course), with a good resolution. This gives you a more 'stable' view of
the traces.
