oddball board

[ratdude747]

i have here a PICMC AP-PSL14 board. it is some sort of backplane.

most of what i found online is for vs 1.3, with ATX. mine is 1.2, with AT only. it also has a different set of slots.

it has 10 ISA 16bit slots (2 are VLB), and 4 pci slots. it also has an AT keyboard connection, an AT power connection, and LEDs and screw terminals for -5v, -12v, +12v, and VCC. it also has a terminal for ground and an LED for 3.3v. there are also a couple oddball connections.

it is like this one only w/o the atx and only 2 instead of 3 of the white connectors:



any idea what it is for? i found it at goodwill ages ago for $1.50, and i took it. my research says it is for some industrial thing.

is it worth anything? anybody have a use for it?

Re: oddball board

it's old. thats about all I know. could be a server board but I dunno.

Re: oddball board

Well, it's surely for some industrial application. The individual terminals for each voltage rail would indicate that. Not sure where the data input is, though.

Re: oddball board

Whatever it is, you could maybe sell it for ~$90

Re: oddball board

it's for an SBC.
(single board computer)

a lot of industrial stuff use a backplane like that and all the other junk is on a big plugin card.
it's to make repair or upgrade easy.

you pull your old p2 card, and pit your new whatever based card - job done.

now i dont know what a backplane is worth, but the cards used to cost a fortune!

You are such an ass.
NxB pointed you to the specs for THAT board which matters because many are propriety and so useless junk.
