What Daystar card is this?

[Hotdog Zanzibar]

This is in my Q840. It has to be a cache card, but I can't tell which one. Has TWO DSP chips on it. Google images has been little help...

Searching for "SCNB-1.0" actually turned up some results -- apparently it's a Photoshop accelerator card (hence the DSP chips). Supermac also slapped their logo on this card and sold it for a while. 

It probably won't work with OS 7.6 or later, so I'll have to reserve it for one of my older machines running 7.1 or 7.5.5...

Do these cards require extensions or control panels? Maybe you've got some software living in your Q840 System Folder already?

macmetex may still have the shrinkwrapped software/manual for that card. Storm Technology changed hands a couple of times, eventually winding up in the Radius fold.

The software basically allows for (select) Photoshop filter acceleration and for fast image compression, intended basically to speed up image processing in publishing, and to save storage space there back in the days of 230mb hard drives.

I think my version may be Storm Tech. branded, but it has been in the innards of a Q650 so long, I can't really remember.
