This could be very useful to run really old PC tied commercial and industrial equipment. There is a surprising amount of old systems still keeping our lives running in small niche ways. It could be:
- your school system's ancient HVAC system
- an old electron microscope in a biology or materials science lab
- an old pc based CNC mill
The fact that this has all the legacy ports of:
- IEEE 1284 parallel printer port
- RS-232 serial port
- a 16 bit ISA slot breakout!
...gives this some of the newest hardware I can think of that still interfaces with old ancient hardware.
