While taking apart a G3 Desktop I realized it uses an interesting sound board which I thought I would share here.(personally I find the modular nature of this board facantaing)

What I found interesting is the number of expansions. I found some documentation on-line that says that the white 'AIO' connector would be for a board that had RCA jacks and a phonojack on it. I'm not sure how useful this would be.(since you can get adapters for that). The black plug would be for a capture expansion(PCI card?) and the long brown(ISA?) connector would be for a modem?
Now I'm curious and wonder does anyone know:
- What the sorter pad next to the capture input would be for?
- Wether the modem port was actually for a modem or was it to capture and record phone calls?
- Is the modem card ISA? If so could you put something else in the slot?
- Would the capture card go in a PCI slot?
- How expensive where all these addons back in the day?
- Is the edge connector of the card itself proprietary or some sort of standard?
