Note the Thermal Analyst 2000 by DuPont. This gives me vibes that it was
a controller for a big external testing unit.

The start price is low, the shipping is average to high for a unit of that size and weight (it likely varies by bidding location) - I'm on it, mostly for archiving possible software.

My guess, Kiethly or NI GPIB.

Not sure if there is any copy of the drivers / application for the
Thermal Analyzer 2000. Don't wipe the drive...

The TA2k "division" of DuPont was spun off in 1990.
