I was checking out some Mac IIfx machines today and

what appeared to be boards with a single IEEE-488 connector on them.
To the best of my knowledge, all the machines were used as graphics
workstations. I've never seen that interface on a Mac before
though...any ideas what it might have been used for?
Well, National Instruments does make a few NuBus IEEE-488
cards...crack open one of the machines and see who made it. If memory
serves, though, they also made a card that *looks* like an IEEE
interface but isn't. I've never actually seen one of those, but I
have several of the real IEEE-488 NuBus boards.
