I don’t know what this does but it was $30, has the word Accelerator in it and is strapped with a mess of super-capacitors, has a UART header, LEDs that dont really tell you anything important, 8GB of RAM, and what looks like an Ethernet port.

Also I turned the machine off at the mains and the card is still powered, so it uses those caps as a UPS for a really good reason.

It’s the SimpliVity OmniCube Accelerator.

This thread is going to be split into #PCIeBay for ‘testing weird abandoned PCIe tech on eBay’ and some others once I figure out names. Xeon Phi and the long-board will continue on with some yet to be determined names.

I think I will be testing using some post scrapper to take these long form posts and mirror them on a static site somewhere on the Cheddarverse.
