JT isn't the only one to turn up Nubus oddities on eBay...check this out!I've tried googling, and as far as I can tell it was probably some kind of a proprietary, ultra-super-smack-my-arse FAST SCSI controller specifically designed to work with MPEG streaming, or video editing/provisioning, one way or the other. 666th poster and 666th thread-creator

Or maybe not...this site has some "information" about a Xilinx 4000 series "device", which it seems that the card might be, but I can't make heads or feets of it...666th poster and 666th thread-creator

Wait, hold the phones! Check this out:quote:
AMM - Nubus card design which performs the compression and decompression of video data. The data is read into the card using block mode transfers over the Nubus in RGB format, is converted to YUV rotated in 32 bit format, and compressed with a proprietary repeated code compression technique. The compressed data is stored within a 32 Mb DRAM array on board. The board also performs the playback function. High speed paths, FIFO coupling, and 4 Xilinx 4000 series parts make this a high performance design.
I found it here. I think that may be it! It's a proprietary, video DSP board...hmmmm.... 666th poster and 666th thread-creator
