It's a DigiDesign Digi 001 card. Came with an external box. It is a sound card / interface. Useless without the external box, but they're available on eBay. The cables on the otherhand are hell to find.

Got it. I did find the card on eBay for $40. Not a rare card it seems.

It's the sort of card that you would find in a lot of G4s, as many G4s were used as part of a sound production setup. Not rare really.

Got it. I bought the g4 for this card. I paid $50 and the power mac works.

This cable?

No, the 50 pin one. That's just a digital optical cable.

Turns out I have this card sitting on my Macintosh ii. Must be a predecessor to the above card.

Yeah, sort of. Works with Sound Designer I believe. Does it have any other cards with it?

@ppuskari is your man for what they do.

This monochrome video card and Daynaport E/11 Ethernet card.

Yeah, that is an early Sound Accelerator II card by Digidesign. Meant to work with Yes the early Sound Designer and Sound Tools applications that utilize the DB25 1/2 rack interfaces they had at the time. There is an Analog interface and a Digital Interface as well that can be daisychained together. I believe this is stereo in/out only via those interfaces. IF you have a Grey Matter Response (SysAXE) scsi card then you can add up to 4 4 channel cards if you also hook them up via the TDM cabling. Lot's of weird options back in that era.
