I have a short 8-bit PC card labeled "5250 EMULATOR". It has a big
1.5" X 1.5" chip labeled 02F8059ESD, a smaller .5" X .5" chip labeled
7378945ESD, a 6264 8KB SRAM, 5 misc. chips, a 32MHZ xtal, assorted
discrete components a 8-position DIP switch, and a DB-15M connector
on the back.
The $64.00 question: What is it?

Hate to say it like this, but it's a "5250 Emulator" card.
Seriously, it's a card that will allow you to connect to TwinAx devices /
systems, like an IBM AS/400.
With the right software and that card, you can use any IBM/Clone as a
terminal to an AS/400, and some software will even allow you to use a local
parallel printer as an AS/400 printer.
HTH, gotta run.

Ah, here's information I can use! (About a card I can't use ;^) Does
anyone out there want it for the cost of shipping? (Since I don't own
an AS/400)
