Any tech-spotters in?

I thought this could be a good bit of fun and is based on a very long running thread on another forum I frequent where a member would show a tiny piece of an aircraft picture and members have to guess what it is.

As we have people here over many age and experience ranges it could be a bit of fun.

There are no prizes, just the smug satisfaction of knowing your 'stuff'.

You are allowed to give clues if people are struggling to guess but if no one has got it after about a day then feel free to put people out of their misery by showing the entire item and telling everyone.

I'll kick you all off with this:

Is it a Boeing 747?

Is it a Boeing 747?

 

No, although at the time it probably cost as much as one. I'll give you a clue and say it was a very popular card when released.

Can't you tell, it's a 707's memory socket for the Nav Comp

[synaesthesia]

I reckon that's a Sound Blaster Awe32

Nice work, it is indeed a Sound Blaster AWE32 and the first expansion card I ever got my hands on. With an ISA socket it was often a pig to get Windows to properly recognise it!

Would've been more difficult had the model number not been visible in the picture!

[synaesthesia]

Indeed a great card, instantly recognisable by the dual SIMM sockets Don't recall using it that much in windows although IRQ, Port and DMA settings ring bells

 

And yeah, the model number did give it away, but the NM pointed out a reverse image search was easy

Can we use a text search to verify our thoughts?

yes, if you have an idea by all means look for it, but no reverse image searches

Nope, it was made on behalf of a very large computer manufacturer.

[L3OUGH]

Is it a A320 ?

I'm 87% sure it's a Lockheed AC130.

[hardtailstar]

is it a Pippin?

[Xellpnz]

Stop it!

 

You did not say it wasn't though

Does look like one of the old appletalk/phonenet terminals. close? =P

[Dos_Box]

is it a Pippin?

 

It is indeed an Apple Pippin, their failed console made for them by Bandai: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pippin
