the second one is an old card for a connection before USB, it  is useless xD but maybe the metals in them are valuable 

Planning on trying StarCitizen (Highly recommended)? STAR-NR5P-CJFR is my referal link

I'm pretty sure your school computers don't have a VLB slot

The 2nd card is a multiport ISA card, back then motherboards had nothing integrated, except for the keyboard port.

 

Every port you wanted in your PC had to be added with a card, that card in the picture has LPT port, 2 Serial ports, Floppy port, Joystick port and 2 IDE ports.

 

3rd card is a sound card, but it also included the IDE port for the CD, which could not be plug in normal IDE ports, also has another CD connection we had back then, never really used that one, it was always with the modified IDE.

 

Last card is a network card.  3Com didn't made anything but network stuff that I know of.

Mystery is the source of all true science.

Glad it was helpful.

 

I just look at one card I have here and the right name is Multi I/O,  close enough for something I used 20 years ago.  xD

 

And after a second look, I notice the slot connector it has is  VESA.
