I'm cleaning out a lab today in prep for remodeling.

While I was waiting for a garbage truck to show up and empty my dumpster, I took a break and helped Dale from UW Safety do fire extinguisher training (Here're the basic types of extinguishers, this is how they work, and here's a fire that we'll keep relighting until you've all put it out at least once).

Then I went back to cleaning. Among other things, I found a relic:

It's a 386DX-20 card with a 387 chip and (I think) 2MB of RAM. From one of the foundry data collection machines. I don't think it works anymore, but I'd need an ISA passive-backplane motherboard in order to test it.
