A DEC 3000/M600. TurboChannel slots (with cards installed) are visible in the top right quadrant. Turbochannel was a proprietary computer bus used by DEC in the majority of the MIPS-based DECstation line, as well as some early Alpha AXP-based systems. DEC abandoned use of Turbochannel in favor of the PCI bus around the mid-1990s.
Turbochannel shared many similarities with other proprietary local buses from the late 1980s and early 1990s, such as SUN's SBUS and IBM's MicroChannel architecture.
