Odd PCI card

[lorddef]

Hi chaps,

I've got an old machine here (a dual p100 believe it or not) and it has some sort of voltage reg board in one of the PCI slots. It says "POWER CARD 5V TO 3.3V REV 1.1" on it.

The only ref I can get on the web is here

And ideas what it actually does?

Perhaps a converter to make the 3.3v line for the socket7 slot?

can anyone read the oriental text on that site?

Hmm, but if it converted the pci slots down to 3.3v surely the  card would not fit ?

There'd be no point as the only 3.3v cards that would fit would be dual 5v/3.3v cards, and thus not actually need the 3.3v

I'm just curious really, the machine has been in service for years and now I'm dismantling it. A bit sad really, I've never seen a similar dual pentium system before, I simply don't have the space (or reason) to keep it.

As I recall, going back to 2000 ish when I inherited the machine, this was the only pci card in it. I just left it in place as I guessed it was doing something specific for the motherboard.

All the other pci cards are totally non related.
