I found this in a load of scrap this weekend. It's marked MicroSolutions (makers of
the highly desirable Capticards) so I grabbed it. It fits an 8 bit ISA slot and says
Pacific Rim Technologies on the component side and MicroSolutions on the other. It has
jumpers for address (only marked A and B) as well as DMA and IRQ settings. It's only
about 4 inches long and has a UM8272A LSI IC and about a dozen SSI ICs. There is a
D(something) 37F connector on the back on the card and solder pads for 34 ribbon cable
header on the inside edge but no header installed. What have I got? I'm sure that
it's some kind of floppy drive controller but nothing beyond that.
