Just curious if anyone here knows anything about these. Latest marketplace pickup came with 4 of them that look basically brand new. Guy was going to scrap them so I took them for an extra $5 just because I thought they looked neat and wanted to save them. I can't really find any info on these anywhere online unless im not googling the right thing. Anyone know any history on them or anything?

Other than an online auction listing for the same card and a couple of references to the company in magazines from the early to mid-90s (e.g. this one on the bottom left of page 514 from 1993 where a separate software company mentions compatibility with New Voice hardware), there's not much info out there.

To me it seems like it was designed for PBX use most likely, like Dialogic cards of the time.

Scrap was the correct designation. Even the FPGAs are too old and small to be useful for anything nowadays.
