    Note the Thermal Analyst 2000 by DuPont. This gives me vibes that it was
    a controller for a big external testing unit.

    The start price is low, the shipping is average to high for a unit of that size and weight (it likely varies by bidding location) - I'm on it, mostly for archiving possible software.

    My guess, Kiethly or NI GPIB.

    Not sure if there is any copy of the drivers / application for the
    Thermal Analyzer 2000. Don't wipe the drive...

    The TA2k "division" of DuPont was spun off in 1990.

    Pity - It *was* a 30Mb based on the submodel.
