I have this board here, marked "Reveal / Part
No. 14-004-008" with an
FCC ID if BEJGCD-R420B. It is an 8-bit ISA card with a few jumpers
(1-4 and 1-9) and a single 40-pin IDC connector.
Anyone recognize this beast? Is it useful in anything besides a
DOS/Win3.1 box?
Ethan, there were 8 bit cards for early CD-ROM drives. These were
"IDE-like" and not necessarily ATAPI. I've got a document somewhere that
details all of the nonsense--but you'll need an early "IDE" CD-ROM drive
and driver software to use this thing.
