That's one hell of a pair of cards :) 

My stuff is definitely Antron though. Their website is at
http://www.btinternet.com/~andy.antron/ and they're still doing the same
thing....

cheers

   If you mean Atron then yes I've heard of them. if fact, I was just
 searching for info on them this morning. I have two full length IBM PC
 style cards that are both marked "Atron", one plugs into an 8 
 bit ISA slot
 and the other plugs into a 16-bit ISA slot. The cards have a 
 ribbon cable
 that connects them together at the top. One is marked "Master 
 Break Trace"
 and the other is marked "Slave Break Trace". (looks like 
 they're for an
 emulator). Both boards have a large male 3U type connector on 
 the outside.
 I've posted a picture at
 <http://www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/ebay/boards.jpg>.  FWIW 
 I pulled these
 out of an old 286 Compaq Deskpro.  I wanted to get the drive 
 but it was
 already gone :-(

 Speaking of chip testers has anyone come across
the Antron   company and their
 testing equipment? Antron are still going and
still selling   test kit to the
 likes of Compaq, but since they didn't reply
to my email I'm   assuming they
 had no old documentation.

Basically the MST300 is a 386 based PC with 2 extra ISA   cards that interface
 with the testing 'pods'. I've got pods
for the 8086, 80286,   80386SX and DX,
 Moto 68K and I'm still not sure what they were
supposed to   be testing!

I'll post pix on Binary Dinosaurs when I get 'em taken :)
