A search shows this question was posted over here, with a picture:

It looks like a home-made board for a plug-in ROM expansion for we-are-not-told.
The "TB 759933" is 14-pin DIP, dated coded 7226, has a house number of "239
2100", but it's on a board with a 27256 from 1985.
It looks like somebody hacked up this board with on-hand parts.
60 seconds of reverse-enginerring from the limited view in the picture suggests
it's likely involved in the address decoding to select the on-board EPROM. The
759933 interconnects with a 74LS10. The LS10 appears to have connections to the
chip-select and output-enable of the 27256 EPROM.
TB 759933 is not a standard TI number but TI sometimes identified parts they
were second-sourcing by embedding the original number in an expanded number.
So a guess is this is a 933 DTL dual 4-input (AND function) expander, being
used not-strictly-correctly to drive a TTL input.
The 933 should be basically 2*4 diodes.
A complete reverse-engineering of this trivial board would likely explain the
overall intended function.
