I was unsure how to grade these boards. I think they might be low telco because of all the IC's on them. And the big black connector at the end of the boards was where a gold finger card was plugged in. Any help will be appreciated.

They are peripheral

That's a smallish board, no scale in photo except ics so maybe abt. 5"*7" ?

Component wise; ics are the majority of the population, no e-caps, no inductors or transformers, no non goldpin connectors, and bonus, 98% sure at least some (and likely all) of the yellow bead capacitors are sintered tantalum, that's based on shape not markings, I can't see and component markings but a number of the yellows are at the right angle to capture their irregular teardrop shape, also those two white boxes (blurry but I think they're the same component lost has elsewhere id'd as large ics), based on the relative quality of all other components those blue caps may be silver bearing

Idk how to tell board layers yet, but as this appears to be early AND high-end I can presume it's a nice sammich

No opinion on grade just organizing some observations

This is actually rather recent, probably mid 2000s
Genovation is an access and programmables OEM.

Given the connection bus and two I/o bus ports, my guess is a data input terminal box or a security control access box.

Regardless it’s peripheral.


Edit: I see a 5 pin coupler port as well. For a power base connection. Furthering my initial thought this is a terminal box. Probably a MiniTerm unit.

This is the kinda peripheral I'd consider depopulating, once I get around to setting up my ball mill to process the depop'ed boards, which even with this fairly nice example would probably still lose overall sale value (at least until my electrolytic cell starts kicking some slimes out) BUT I would still have a good deal of value to ship, and it would be higher valueDENSITY for packing purposes, more dollars in value per lb and cubic inch shipped

Thanks for everyone's help and advice. Oh, and the boards came out of two Markman dry cleaning computer systems from 1999.

Lol. At least I was close. Only off by 3 years.
