Re: What are these old cards?



Hold the phone!  I only looked casually at the cards before  when I 1st got 
them; they 
were part of a horde I pulled from the junk Goodwill bins and at the time 
other things (like the Transwarp "E" in there (brag brag) took up my 
attention. 

I just pulled them out and got out my glasses and...
 The one with the battery holder IS NOT AN A/D card!
It is marked "Mountain Computer Incorporated c 1981"  and in the bottom left: 
"Multifunction".
The A/D card (in the other box) is quite distinct from this one.  

This does indeed apear to be a multi-function card.  I can see what looks like 
a 26 pin  set (DB25..Printer?  SCSI?), next to it a 6 pin set (binary SCSI ID 
set?  Hey I can dream can't I? ;), a 20 pin set (DB?19? floppy hook up?) a pot 
for tweaking something, a chrystal that says 5.0688 , one EPROM with a date of 
1979 marked "CPS EPROM 14-00210-C-01 Rev C" , a largish chip with a label over 
it with no markings and a scattering of other chips of the usual 74LS273, 367, 
173, 32, 126 and the like; about 22 of these..no GALs no PALs or anything else 
weird and 4 ground studs scattered across the board.  I have not clue one what 
this card does.
