Comment:
I need help identifing an old isa card it is made by wang and has 2 bnc connectors at the pci bracket. some of the important ic's are a "Z80" CTC (counter/timer circuit) Z084304psc, "Z80" CPU Z0840004psc, SC42576p, cf60101bfn, cf60102bfn. its also got ALOT of other ic's on it. it also has 2 dip switches on it. there is no model number or fccid# on the card only the mfg name which is wang
Sorry i know its not much but i cant post a pic at the moment but i will try as soon as possible if that helps
I doubt very much if you are going to get drivers for it to run under Windows 95 as it contains it own CPU.
It looks like some kind of specialised control card that would only have fitted in a computer designed for it and is probably proprietary to Wang and not an ISA card. Wang used to make mini-computer netwroked word processors before desk-top word processors came along.
Besides, do you still have a computer that has ISA slots?
yes i still have the computer it came off. it came off a compaq deskpro 590 and it still has isa slots and there is a 95 driver for the card because i used to have the driver for it
Not much help probably here from me but seeing that you mentioned "SC42576" I am thinking it is a flip-flop IC, was this used for data acquisition ? What are you going to use it for, just wondering ?
Dave, Nice site you linked to above, where have you been hiding that one.... A couple of years ago here I posted a site some what like that one you shared, its name was "FirstPC@noip" I believe and had a boat load of settings also, I have not seen or heard anything of it in sometime now. I have posted on other sites if anyone knows what became of it with no luck, you would not by chance have heard of it and maybe have a link back to where it could have moved to, just wondering.....
I came across th99 a few years ago. Apparently this Total Hardware released the full version for sale as well as a free version which didn't include any of the pictures. I think both are pretty much freeware now. The online sites like the one above tend to come and go. I did find some download sites for installation. But the full version was something like 100 meg and I didn't want to do it on my dialup. I do have the free version. It's about a 10 meg download.
"yes i still have the computer it came off. it came off a compaq deskpro 590 and it still has isa slots and there is a 95 driver for the card because i used to have the driver for it"
Is that computer still working? If it is, could you put the card back in it and look at Device Manager to see what it says it is, and look at what it lists for drivers for it?
Sorry for not replying sooner. i have found out what it is from this site http://www.yjfy.com/Museum/net/net.htm it is actually an old network card and the computer i have it in is still working 100% but it had its hard drive removed from it. but i cant seem to find out any info about the card itself other than the picture and model.
but sadly the card is actually dead now even though it was never removed from the pc it is in.
thank you everyone who posted and have a good life :)
look for 3com cards, they're the only ISA network cards that I *used* to be able to get. (local computer shop shut down, and now sells hotdogs with new owner)
Yeah i do need an isa network card because i cant find any pci cards that have working dos drivers.
Also is there a better networking utility for dos than MSlanman because it uses WAY too much ram almost all the conventional ram and it wont go into the umb or ems or xms.
