okay, i've got a REALLY STRANGE card.....actually, cards
there are two isa cards, connected like you would connect a voodoo2 sli (short ide-like cable running between them)

One card has sort of a centronics interface on it and the other has what look like two audio outputs but most likely aren't. This card has three "Lattice ispLSI 1032-80LJ" chips on it, and says

"Computer Communications
Specialists, INC.
221-20-000 REV D
Signal Processor."

on it
both are quite long, full lenght i believe, cards.
WTF are they???

Are the pin/connectors on it thin like a PCI card, or thicker like an ISA card.

I have a hunch that it's some old EISA server card of some sorts. You'll know that it's an EISA card by looking at the pins

ISA would look like this
