It's a *something* Decision card, complete with a BNC port......I really
should've noted it's name as it struck me as odd, as well as the size of the
CPU; still, the machine is easily accessible downstairs so I can dig it out
tomorrow and photograph it properly. Could it have been ethernet related?
There's KA9Q software on the HD in the expansion too, which is why I think
that.

More info tomorrow :)

cheers
