Does anyone recognise what this card is?
It has a 62pin DSub, but looks too fancy to just be an 8 port serial card (I mean it could be, but they're pretty much one chip solutions normally, not 12" cards). It has what look like three Altera FPGAs. The PCI MatchMaker chip is a PCI interface chip that simplifies connecting hardware to the PCI bus. It sort of makes it more like a high speed ISA bus. Makes electronic and driver development easier. The only thing that might be a brand is "PAC". I've included close ups of potential part numbers.
Is it perhaps a RIP card? Anyone seen this card before? It came alongside an Audio card and two SCSI cards, but that is likely to be a false lead, given there was also a 8100 style AV card with it.
