And this is the one that is installed in the Bomem Interferometer.
Dual-height card, no SLU or bootstrap. The console is from a custom
Bomem card that wants an EGA monitor and standard PC (old style 5 pin
round connector) instead of a serial terminal for the console.
It is really pretty useless for me, since the EGA monitors all appear to
be toast and I wouldn't be able to use VTServer through the custom EGA
thing.
Interestingly, though, is the fact that this custom card also interfaces
into a very large board that I believe is a vector processor.
