LC>I need some help identifying a card. ... This sticker is on the 
LC>largest chip on the board which is labelled MCM2708C.  There are 4 
LC>other socketed chips on the board, SN74LS377N, SN74LS00N, and two 
LC>74LS74A.  The only other things on the board are various capacitors 
LC>and resistors, and a 16 pin header.  The cable attached to the 16 pin 
LC>header ends in a Centronics 36 pin plug.  This makes me think it might 
LC>be a parallel printer card, but I'm not sure.  ...

It certainly sounds like a 'generic' parallel printer card.  The '2708' is the 
card's ROM program and the '74LS377' is an 8-bit latch.  The Amphenol 36-pin 
connector (commonly called a 'Centronics' connector; after the printer company 
that 'standardize' on the connector) is a 'dead give away'.
