Nope... I suspected RAM disc cards because 512K is the AMOUNT of RAM I
counted (a board covered w/ 4116s). And there were no connectors to the
boards other than the card edge.
There are two of these mystery boards.

Uh,I thought it was the drive interface because it had a 50pin cable
comming off it that matched the 50pin connection to the 8" drives box.

Yep, that sounds right.
