Can any one identify what this might be?

That's my guess as well
It could be absolutely anything - the centronix is like the dsub or din series ports : they're not tied to a standard. You can't assume it is a specific connector visually. The "if it fits, it works" thing was not valid in the 80s, you could break things like that.
Parallel is one option, it might also be controlling some proprietary hardware.

Fixed it for youNow you have to buy ittoso we find out what it is.
Yeah that's what I was afraid of...Now you have to buy it to find out what it is.
I saw that one too. I'm also guessing parallel printer (I know there were external adapters for people who wanted to connect parallel printers so I'm sure they also made PDS and NuBus cards).
Who wants to buy it for the team?

Scientific I/O board. Data logging and control. I see mentions of using it as an oscilloscope, controlling electron tunnelling microscopes and building custom measurement and processing instruments. Shame its missing what it plugged into.
I'd put it into the same category as a National Instruments card, something like either a GPIB or MIO card?
Oooh. Any software on the machine?
Yeah - I think it was marketed as a cheaper alternative to that kind of thing (?)
HDD is unhappy, i'll try to revive it but you know how these piles of spinning rust are. Fully decked out with 4mb of ram though, which is great because I don't even have to think about touching the plastic RAM sockets. The computer is also covered in children's stickers so I'm not sure if the software was even still on there at all.
Best I could do with wayback machine. I wrapped all the downloads in a zip for neatness.
