Pinnacle microMotion DC30plus

What do people know about these cards? Does anyone have a copy of the software that came with them?




The manual (attached) says they're for G3s and G4s, for use with Premiere and Final Cut.

I feel like you see them quite a lot, were they an option from Apple directly?
Were they used with any other hardware? Or is the cars everything you'd need?

I have a card, but am missing the audio breakout. Does anyone have one, ten minutes and a multimeter?

Both attached here for posterity.

Just need to find out about the audio adapter wiring and any interesting history / complementary hardware now I guess?
