Probably a floppy card, or QIC floppy-tape card.

Interface card for a Spot Technologies (RIP) Fototak slide scanner--a very
cheap device.

Most likely a sound card.  The Turtle Beach Tropez used an ICS 2110:

Probably a SCSI adapter card,  My guess is that the big power resistor is a
bit of ballast for the termination power.  Altera is still very much in
business and sells interesting things such as FPGAs.
