Re: Any old-timers recognize this card?
The first generation of Digidesign cards in the early '90s needed to run the media drive using the card's DSP chip because Macs at that time weren't fast enough. I ran an SE-30 back then so I never used the NuBus cards used in the Mac IIs. Digidesign was the first to use standard format hard drives that could be moved to any Mac computer and backed up. That combined with the invention of the plug-in and the fact that nothing significantly better came along is why Pro Tools became our industry standard DAW.
