have date codes in 1985; chips of note are 32k in 70ns 4Kx4 SRAM;
intel 8086, 8259, and 8254; and a pair of 12-bit monolithic DACs. I/O
is by one DE9m and one DB25m.
There's a possibility that this is a Wavepak Data Acquisition board
from Computational Systems, Inc. (CSI). It came out
around 1984 and
was very popular for those needing FFT-type data acquisition. It
could also be a similar unit from Data Physics--both CSI and DPC were
early players in PC FFT data acquisition. Their boards were
freakishly expensive, if memory serves--in excess of $5K.
There were probably others, but those are the ones I remember.
