Wasn't the 3270 emulator a dual card setup?

Might also be a 3270 emulator board. These often used a twinaxial passthru
T type connector with a 15 pin D-shell connector on a pigtail that
connected to the board.
It is an ISA-16 card. It has a 68000, w/2 27128
EEPROMs, 16 1259-15
RAM chips and Intel chips, 82586 and 8253-5. The rest looks to be
TTL, a couple of connectors and couple of crystals, 16 and 20 MHz.
It was made by Bridge Communications, USA, in 1987. And it has a
D-shell 15 pin (like a Mac video -2 rows of pins) female connector on
the back.
Could be an early AUI ethernet controller. The 82586 was intel's ethernet
co-processor. It worked with a CPU chip. Ungerman Bass used an 80186 with the
82586 in their ethernet ISA cards. -Toth
