The SCSI interface card was manufactured by:
        
        DEST Corp.
        1201 Cadillac Court
        Milpitas, CA   95035
        
The board itself is marked:

        ASSY. NO. 350981-0100 REV F
        DEST CORP,
        PS/2 ADAPTER
        made in USA
        
        88 05
        
        FAB NO. 350980-0100 REV B
        PCB2 11-8
        
The board is a 16 bit microchannel interface board.  It has a DB-25
connector attached and the board also came with a cable (DB-25 to 50
pin amphenol connector) and a terminator (amphenol connector).

There is no software whatsoever with this. Not even a REFERENCE 
disk (needed to perform hardware configuration whit a icrochannel 
(MCA) bus device).  

I would greatly appreciate a reference disk.  I really just need the
setup file.  It should be called: @hhhh.ADF  where hhhh is the 
hexadecimal MCA ID assigned to the card.

Any other information would also be appreciated.  I know almost
nothing about this card, except that it was probably intended for a
page scanner.  I would like to use it with a hard disk.  If anyone
knows about this board's capabilities, or lack thereof, please drop a
line.  I'd also like any information about software that works with
this and/or data for writing my own software.

Thanks!
