CN1 9-pin round connector - looks like an
Apple LocalTalk connector
I'd guess that this adapter plugged into some kind of handheld scanner.
From the looks of things the majority of "intelligence" is either
scanner or software based. There's not much to this adapter except the Chips
P82C611 and AM7202. Judging by the adapter name, this was most likely used with
an OCR package.
From what I've read so far, the scanner is a 300DPI hand scanner.
Caere Today
Caere is long gone. They were bought out by ScanSoft (who has been through
a few different hands). ScanSoft is now a part of a company known as Nuance.
I could find nothing at all on the Nuance site regarding the Typist adapter.
