    I need help identifying a card in a quad core G5 PowerMac and all I have is a picture of the connections on the back of the card. I am attaching the picture to this message in hopes that someone here might have an idea or guess as to what the card might be. It is the card above the fibre channel card, the one at the top of the PowerMac that I want identified.

    The group here are the smartest group of computer geeks I know, so that is why I have started this thread, even though it is not MorphOS related.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    The picture is located HERE

    I made a mistake trying to upload the picture here and you can't do it from the edit option to a message post.

    I am guessing that it might be some type of video input card, or possibly a TBC. Since the G5 is at least 5 years old, the card might be from that time as well.

    Maybe a Kona card for video capture and video effects:

    A picture of the actual board inside would probably be more useful than a picture of the backplate ...
    Those BNC connectors could be pretty much everything, hard to tell if they are used as inputs or outputs.

    > the G5 is at least 5 years old

    Apple introduced the quad core G5 only 4.6 years ago ;-)
