Hello All!
   I have a piece of equipment marked as "GATEWAY IG-4" in apx 18"x7"x10" 
case with a label on the back reading:
       COMPUCORP (r)
SERIES              MODEL IG-4
SERIAL NO. G-00###
100/120 VAC  2.0 AMP  50/60 HZ
220/240 VAC  1.0 AMP  50/60 HZ
LOS ANGELES CA
MADE IN USA     BUSINESS EQUIP
The unit has places for 4 modules installed from the rear.  The modules are 
apx 10" long and 1.5" wide, with thumbscrews on each end to secure.  Two mods 
are installed, one labeled "RS-232 NIP" with two DB-25F conns seperated by a 
green LED labeled "A READY".  Next there is the "B READY" LED, a hole for 
switching of two DIPS (one marked "A SET" and one "B SET".  This is followed 
by a column of 6 red LEDs marked "ST 1" through "ST 6".  These modules are 
mounted in a horizontal position, but are labeled and read vertically from 
the top down.
The bottom module is labeled "OMEGANET NIP", and has labels (reading from top 
down) "READY" (green LED), three 8-pos DIPS (top two "NET ADDRESS", bottom 
"NODE ADDRESS"), one BNC conn "OMEGANET", four red LEDs labeled "ST 1" - "ST 
4", and at the very end - a 7 digit # "0184424".
In examining the RS-232 NIP module, I see the following paper label on U22:
       0426445
      V .2A VIII
      RS 232 PAD
The PCB is screened: "NIP RS232  0190298-BX"  Stamped to: "0190306-DX"
The "OMEGANET NIP" module has the following sticker on U8:
       0426023-G
        V.1.01
And the PCB is screened as:  "NETWORK INTERFACE PROCESSOR"
                             "0184416-DX"
The power connector is a std IEC 3-prong, there is a std case fan in the 
back, and I don't see a power switch.  Does anyone have any info on this 
unit, and how I might be able to put it to use ?  Perhaps integrate it into 
the LAN plan :) mentioned in my previous message ??  Any way to find 
additional modules ???
What exactly might it's use have been when it was in operation ?!
Sincerely,
           Bruce - kb6lwn - ck1@pacbell.net
