Paint me purple and call me Barney, that looks like an M-Motion card in 
the middle slot.

That's what I get for nor reading completely, it sez so right there...

What Windoze 3.x software works with the M-Motion? I've still got one of 
these with the cable.

This computer is from Space Center Houston.   It was used to drive a 
simulator.  It was decommissioned in 1999 or so.  The software they used is 
still on the hard disk.  This one doesn't have windows, but rather has a DOS 
program that runs as a space shuttle simulator.  It didn't have the cables 
with it unfortunately.

     My Gearbox 800 was also from the Johnson Space Center. Not really that 
much of idea what it was used for, but it did have Windows 3.1 installed. 
Had a serial number of 002 (the Gearboxes were serialized specifically for 
the customer at the time of sale), so there is supposed to be at least 
another "one" around.

OK, now I'm interested. I don't suppose that it still has a space center 
asset tag attached?
