I was going through some old stuff on the attic when I found this, it seems to be some kind of hub. I have no idea what it was used for, does anyone know what kind of connectors those are? I'm guessing scsi.

My guess is its an old school PC paralell hub for connecting several computers to a single printer. those icons in the upper right corner look like a clue.....
We're going to need more info if you want to know which this is for. Does it have any labels at all? I would imagine a SCSI hub might have switches to select SCSI IDs or at least a terminator switch. Nothing like that on there? Doesn't rule SCSI out if they aren't there though.
I took a picture of the front maybe that'll help. A and B look like a printer and a scanner, my dad ensured me he was using this thing to connect harddisks though so it's most probably scsi. If it is I'd like to know what type.

It's not SCSI. It's a switch box for printers and for directconnection on PCs. It's a standard 25pin LPT (Printer port) that runs at 11mbit. It can though use a special type of HD that uses a 25pin LPT but they're slow as heck. It could come in handy for the old paralle ZIP drives.
Your probably right, i dont know of any scsi printers,lol. For some reason I thought that when I saw the scanner on the front. At 11mbs its actually faster than original scsi which was 10mbs. -maestro
