It's a tape backup device.... Possibly one that reads audio. Yer gonna have to do some googling & searching of this site to find out if it does.

Governor Jim McGreevey was equally disturbed about the upcoming population increase. "New Jersey cannot support all of these wookies," he said. "For starters, we don't have nearly enough kindbud. At best, we can muster up a Q.P. of some beasties, but we've not a dime-bag more."

if it is a compaq there is a very good chance it's a ctd-8000. i know that they came OEM in the proliant servers for a while.

it should tell you during the adaptec boot sequence what device it is. look at the second link joe posted above for specific model numbers that are audio capable.
