Name that Ware


Last month we mentioned [bunnie]'s Name that Ware competition where participants try to guess the functionality of a random bit of hardware. We thought you might want to see another example; pictured above is the June 2008 ware provided by [xobs]. You can see a high res version here and an image of the daughter card as well. Be forewarned that someone has already posted the solution in the comments. At first glance there are quite a few interesting bits: board is copyright 1991, the 8-bit ISA connector doesn't have any data lines connected, just power, and it's got a lot of analog circuitry. Take a guess and then check out the comments on [bunnie]'s site to see the solution.
