Can anyone furnish me > with a clue as to what it is and could it be useful? Absolutely no idea. Given that it's an 8-bit card, it could well have been a paddleboard for an old SCSI CD-rom. It's not likely to be compatible with anything else that FreeBSD currently supports. (AFAIK) Any markings on the board? > Stephen -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" - Terry Lambert [[
