Is that the printer interface card by Cyclone?  I don't need it, hell,
I never even heard of it before.  Just curious.

I used to have an Indy with a "Cyclone" badge, but I can't remember if it
had the card in it or not.  I certainly didn't have the cables, nor did I
have the "whatever" that was supposed to be on the other end of 'em ...

I do believe that we used a Cyclone-badged Indy as a RIP for a big Canon
color copier at the service bureau in the 1990s. It had a shell in a
terminal window, which made it strange beastie indeed on a network of
Macs with one Sun server and a couple of PCs. :7)

Sounds similar to where this one came from.  This of course was also used
as a RIP for some big copier/printer.  I never used it... I got it for the
Indy itself (and then shortly afterwards got a lot of SGI stuff that had
even better Indys in it).

Hate to toss this card... I wouldn't be surprised if these are still in
(limited) use out there... but finding someone to save it from a dumpster
may prove to be impossible.
