Right now, my company has the entire 5th floor of the building we're in.  Since there are a lot fewer people than there used to be, the plan is to move all of us in the north half down into the south half, thus saving a chunk of money.  It almost seems backwards that this means moving a bunch of people from the south to the north for a while, but that allows some crews to rearrange walls n such down there.

So the cleaning out of empty offices around mine continues at a heightened pace.  Now and then, someone will poke their head into my office and ask if I know what something they found is.  Yesterday, it was this:



Considering its age, I wonder whether that thing was running a 5.25" or a 12" drive.  It probably cost a fortune 30 years ago.  Length and height-wise, the thing is bigger than a lot of high end video cards are nowadays.

Like a lot of the ancient stuff being found, the controller is probably headed for the dumpster.  I doubt that even the electronics recycling company we use sometimes would want the thing.
