You really do enjoy teasing us like this, don't you?




The original picture is too blurry to make out any of the writing on the card
except the ZILOG stamp on the chip in the upper right corner.  Fortunately
my local UNIX system has "xv", and the "Smooth" button does wonders for
bringing out those little details.  The ZILOG chip says "Z180 CPU", and the
large chip near the lower left says "OAK TECHNOLOGIES", and right under the
EPROM chip are the words "SEQUENTIAL SYSTEMS", and just to the left of the
Z180 it says "COPYRIGHT 1995".

So the mystery card is no mystery at all.  Of course you found it "laying
about the office"...you confessed in an earlier post that you were up to
your kneecaps in them...
