Also got this one for a buck from the same guy, it's an ISA backplane, a very big Isa backplane lol, a shitpost for the future

@kiwa What would that have been part of, originally? Also is there an upper limit to the total number of slots?

@profoundlynerdy probably it came from something like this, a big industrial computer, not really easy to know the original application, but this guy mostly sells AV stuff so maybe related, i have seen play with backplanes and i think there is not really a limit

@kiwa Plug in a single board computer and every hard card you can find!

@kiwa Maybe that backplane worth a reverse engineering effort to convert to CAD files.

@kiwa Totally need to open it up and figure out what it is.

@particlesbbs the guy is asking 5 bucks for it, I'm tempted

particlesbbs, 1 month ago

@kiwa $5? No brainer... just for the curiosity factor alone. Plus, you can prolly get Doom to run on it :)

@ozzelot @particlesbbs @kiwa same. I really want to know what's hiding in there.

(probably spiders and some medieval version of DOS, but I'm still very curious)
