I can't verify that's the same thing as what I have, since mine still
has the lid on, but it looks reasonable. The article mentions 2" as a
dimension, but my recollection is that the Kittyhawk platter _is_
1.3"... the case is probably 2" wide, then. It certainly is on the
order of 3" long (however wide the 44 pin connector is, plus a
fraction)
They appear to have been manufactured from 1993 to 1994.
