scottgfx Posts:4 ![]() | July 21, 2008, 06:02:40 AM Here's my best guess: The cards are part of some kind of telemetry system. I looked up the stats on the two large chips. They are Dual Ported Ram chips. Hence the name DPM on the card. The other card is labeled PCM, so I'm guessing that these things get connected together to make a system of some kind. Pulse Code Modulation is used in telemetry. Like I said, my best guess. ![]() Info on the chips: http://www.idt.com/?genID=7026 |
