   also the weird one in that list is the Nikon thing with the asterisk.
   It turns out it's a 2.5gb magneto-optical drive that I think was only released in japan?

     Also apparently the OS is stored on a Quantum Fireball IDE drive.

     So the motherboard is an ASUS TX97. That's based on an Intel 430TX chipset, and can run Pentiums throughs AMD-K6.
     It supports up to 256mb of RAM in 168-pin SDRAM slots. 3 ISA slots, 3 PCI slots, and one combination PCI/MediaBus/ISA slot.
     Built in IDE, can be powered by AT or ATX power supplies.

     Anyway, this is the TASCAM MMR-8.
     Sadly it's not as useful (for me) as I was hoping: it has a lot of video support, but it's not really for doing video: it's for syncing audio TO video. This is specifically an audio device, not a video device. Whoops.

     fun fact: it turns out that inside it's built on a Socket 7 motherboard. From ASUS!
