A rather obscure PC... what did I even get my hands on?

Well I kind of know it. This was a medical PC system used by otorhinolaryngologists (ear, nose and throat surgeons), according to the seller. I don't know if it works and I don't really know how to test it. It has three full-length ISA cards installed which connect the tubes to each other. The mainboard seems to be a Chaintech 5TDM2 M101. A hard drive is still installed, but the chassis has gotten loose over time.

I'm going to test it in a couple of days and hope it still functions.
