Are you sure you're not making jelly? It looks like 4 chunks of blackcurrent and one of raspberry!

[Dos_Box]

Is it an acoustic coupler of some kind?

[Jaan]

last clue....... not of the device itself....

[Jaan]

[Dos_Box]

Some kind of floppy disk magazine (holds multiple floppies)?

I've never seen one of those before, but we did have all kinds of weird and wonderful hardware back in the day.

This is still used around the world

[Norphy]

747s are still used across the world!

 

Failing that, maybe an Airbus A380

Geforce GPU?

[Dos_Box]

Geforce GPU?

 

I was thinking that, but the early ones (I had a GeForce 2) had fans IIRC?

Is that a Voodoo 3DFX card?

[Norphy]

@bald_pig is the closest so far. Care to guess which one?

Voodoo 3?

[Norphy]

Yes, specifically a Voodoo 3 3000 AGP:

 

[Dos_Box]

I'll go for a Voodoo 3 as well.

[Jaan]

oh i have a 5500 i think in the attic..... massive card!

And quite a collectors item now, they fetch a tidy sum.

I remember quite a few years ago visiting ICT Direct and they had a waste bin full of old graphics cards with many Voodoo 2's in there. I declined a rummage thinking it was just old tech at that point (I used to have a Voodoo 2 in the late 90's).

They would be worth a small fortune today.
