Identify those Digidesign PCI cards
« on: December 31, 2022, 10:28:32 AM »

Can someone identify those friggin' Digidesign cards?
Assy numbers return nothing. The big card has "Hendrix Main" printed on bottom left. that returns nothing.
I believe those are the cards I used to drive my 442 interface... That would debunk the myth that 442 only works on NuBus.

The small card plugs into the big one, and I'd plug the 442 in the small one,

Those are not PCI cards: they are IBM PC AT bus (ISA) cards.
The name of the product from Digidesign was "Session 8 for PC"
It's curious that the copyright date on the cards is 1992, but the components were manufactured in 1995; obviously a very late production run.

Oh!
not what I thought at all...
I wonder if it could work with the 442: it's the same connector as on the small card  (looks like a 50-pin mini-SCSI)

I think it does work with the 442 (also known as the Digital I/O box)

I think it was released 1993 win 3.1 until win95, 16bit
