Thanks to a very knowledgeable person (Thank you Sir), I now know that
this is a "security dongle" of the earliest kind. Cards like this one
were used in the same manner that parallel port security plugs have
been used on the PC: to disable software unless it is present.
A poor quality picture of this card (sorry folks but all I have is a
Snappy ver 1.0) can be seen at www.teleport.com/~barpri/whaz.jpg
