Hey all, not sure if this is technically the right forum, mainly because I'm not entirely sure what system this may go to...
Found this old ElectroData clock pulse generator card at a garage sale in the absolute middle of nowhere. Part number APPEARS to be 52898, serial number 112, for what that's worth. Apparently belonged to the seller's brother who was an electronics nut and hoarder before he presumably passed away. The guy said he threw away "a lot of his stuff" which kills me a little bit inside, but thankfully this card escaped the landfill. Was hoping to see if anybody knew specifically what system it belongs to, or maybe tape drive or something, and roughly what the age would be? From my minimal searching online, I'm guessing it's at least 60 years old, but I'm not sure if Burroughs left the ElectroData branding on their parts even after they absorbed the company.
Any help is much appreciated! Either way, this has got to be the oldest piece of computing history in my collection by at least a decade or two.
