Hi everyone, found a large full size ISA card in a 486 era desktop. Can anybody tell me what that is and what it does. I tried to search for some of the labels and chip numbers, but I still cant figure out what the thing does as a whole (and how and for what I could use it today ). Thanks

It looks like a property industrial controller of some kind.

It's an interface board used in opthamology for tracking eye movements...

"Eye movement record showing horizontal and vertical traces of the right (R) and left (L) eyes with the Ober-2 system. Patient no 2 with only horizontal traces shown. The record showing a jerk nystagmus with a SPI (slow phase exponentially increasing velocity) waveform with a superimposed foveating saccade (arrow). Horizontal bar, 2 degrees; vertical bar, 200 ms."

Ah thanks a lot for the skillful detective work. So there may be even some additional (medical?) hardware included. It seems I wont be using this card then...

unless... HUD with eye tracking in Flight Simulator 5.0...
