plutherusOK, anyone out there have any idea what the heck this thing is?
It's an 8-port APW Wright Line LMS Switch.
I have no idea what that means. And the phrase "LMS Switch" apparently is not used anywhere on the internet.
It's a 1-U Rackmount device. The "back" contains just the name and logo of the company, the back has keyboard and mouse (one each) PS/2 ports. Over those is what looks like a 9-pin serial port.
Next to that set is another 9-pin serial port and what looks like 8 SCSI ports. There's also a standard power plug and on/off switch.
What the heck is it, though? Are those actually SCSI ports? What kind of switch has PS/2 and serial input and 8 SCSI ports for output? Or am I reading this thing entirely wrong?
Anyway, here's a couple of pictures. Any help identifying this thing is appreciated.
Thanks!
