    I forgot to also mention that the ware is up for grabs in case anyone recognizes it and needs it, and can cover the cost of shipping. Leave a comment here and I can connect you with Patricio.

    Some hints from the chip datasheets:

    NS32CG16: High Performance Printer/Display Processor

    “The NS32CG16 is a 32-bit microprocessor in the Series 32000/EPTM family that provides special features for graphics applications. It is specifically designed to support page oriented printing technologies such as Laser, LCS, LED, Ion-Deposition and InkJet.”

    DP83902A: Serial Network Interface Controller for Twisted Pair

    NS32FX16: Imaging/Signal Processor

    “… specifically optimized for CCITT Group 2 and Group 3 Facsimile Applications, Data Modems, Voice Mail Systems, Laser Printers, or any combination of the above”

    So in all likelihood, this board would have been found inside a Laser/Inkjet type networked printer. Still trying to figure out how the cartridge fits into it… could hold data, or a program?

    Processor board for a laser printer and the cart would be the Postscript font package?

    You just had to post it upside-down :)

    I think this is an aftermarket motherboard replacement for an early HP LaserJet series printer to add onboard networking. The font cartridge slot and RJ-45/AUI ports give that part of it away. There’s also not much RAM, in keeping with the early LaserJet machines.

    I’d guess it’s an upgrade from II->III, since HP also had that upgrade path officially. It would be easy for someone to knockoff the upgrade and keep selling it after HP stopped.

    I would guess that is a
    MICOM EASY ROUTER HCFT FEATURE PAK
    PN#100-3536-008
    and
    MICOM INTEGRATION ROUTER MODULE 5000IRM/5T/S
    PN# 160-2531-002

    Or something very close.

    Like described here:

    I might have been lucky searching the SW number (907-2233-0).

    some of the blurring seems to be succeptible to being attacked like a low-quality hash, it’s actually a usable attack method according to an article I read a while back

    It’s exactly what SAM and megabytephreak say it is. I wish these challenges could last a little longer to give us more time to play. But I guess some months are easier than others.
