IBM Series/1 and question about ISA card

I just got an IBM Series/1! This is going to be fun, but it's going to take
a long time to get running. It's filled with more dust than I've ever seen
in a computer, and it uses 230v which means I don't have much of a choice
of where to plug it into. And the manuals... That's going to take WEEKS to
go through! But hey, I got four 200MB hard drives, a 4956-K00 CPU, a few
I/O units and an 8 inch floppy drive out of it! Whheee! I LOVE those 8 inch
drives!
OK, thats going to take a while to sort through everything. On to the PC card.
I found this strange 8-bit card labeled:
Scan Doubler S/N 1179
PGS P/N8403001
It has two DB-9 connectors on the end, and it was pulled from an old PC.
It's probably about a half length card. Any ideas on what it is? I was
thinking some sort of dual-monitor video card...
TIA
