    IDE expansion card via ISA. Looks like it also has Flopph Disk Drive (FDD) support as well as a gamepad port.

    Some kind of pcie to serial or parallel add in card.

    Its IO expansion boards based on ISA slot standard (before PCI was invented). Back in XT/286/386 era there were not integrated IOs … no IDE (hard drive controller) … so this is Parallel/Serial/Floppy/IDE controller … and all those jumpers are configuration options for you to setup .. manually.

  4. So back in the day the only thing on your motherboard was CPU, RAM, ROM, and a Keyboard controller. Everything else was on the ISA bus (before the PCI bus). That is a hard disk, floppy disk controller with a parallel port and a serial port on it.

    Parallel + serial ISA card? Plus IDE and game port headers plus a lot others I don’t recognize

    When we lose the generation that can answer this question like I’m asking who their favorite team is, we’re fucked.

    For a moment, I read the geocache as genocide and was confused.

    Now that’s old! Individual transistors lined up on that board!

    If you are born after 1993, this card is older than you 😀

  11. 16 bit isa serial or parallel port adapter.

  12. Not in a modern motherboard, you need to go back to the pentium 3 or early 4 era to find an ISA slot

    This is a “Windbond KDDPT1127W UN1075G F825K4PTI227W 16-Bit ISA Controller Serial Parallel”

    Where did you find it. A mate an I put a few out around Victoria, Australia with various computer bits in them. Was pre 2001….

    I wonder if I still have the spreadsheet….

    Its an expansion for the ISA slot (Way back before 2000’s)

  15. Suspicious_You_685

    Look at all those through hole resistors. I wonder if this was assembled by hand?

    That’s an add on IDE controller board for 286 and early 386 computers. It adds a HDD port, FDD port, parallel port, serial port and a game port to the motherboard. The game port needs a breakout cable, which is missing. The game port is also disabled atm.
