Looks like an early Joytech Banshee, I have one like it with a sticker on the back that is almost identical.

Beware Banshees with no heatsink, they can burn up fast.

The FCCID (from what I can see) begins "FQI..."

If you search on @Falcons "I.D. your hardware" page for "FQI" you get a Orbit 3D (okay so the one mentioned is a V2...) ::)

This would suggest that it's an Orbit 3D Banshee! :o

Anyone know if this is RARE? ???
