It's NOT a floppy interface card!



Regarding my original post "Is this a PC floppy interface card":

>>I hope this what I think it is. The cable will plug into a PC floppy
>>drive. The card is blue in color, and says Chatsworth Data
Corporation.
>>Is this a PC floppy drive interface card? If so, does anyone have the
>>drivers? How do I get power to the drive? I have a PC power suppy, but

>>it is huge and would seem to be overkill for one floppy drive. Can
>>anyone positively identify this thing?

Mystery Solved!

It is not a pc floppy card , or any other kind of floppy interface for
that matter. Michael Crane was correct when he said that looks to be
some kind of controller, however it's not for a tape drive as he
theorized (good guess though, Michael!). I went back to the place where
I got the //e that had the card inside and started digging through
boxes. I found a Chatsworth Data card reader. Further digging uncovered
the software, and a small package of genuine chatsworth data cards
(copyright 1984). These are the cards that schools use for tests that
the computer "grades".

So, would anyone like to add a complete Chatsworth Data card reader to
their A2 collection? Lord knows my wife thought I was insane for
bringing it home!
