I bought a PC at a sale, inside was an 8 bit ISA board by SYNAPSYS Ltd inSERT Teletext Encoder.

The reason I kept the board was that it used a TI TMS34010, which 30+ years ago was a high end graphics chip. I used the simpler 34061 in many designs and kept this for old times sake.

The board has the processor, DIMM RAM, SRAM, delay line, odd logic and two BNC connectors. Note, no software!

It is now hovering over the scrap bin having had no luck selling it to anyone for the 34010.
