Just a major WAG, but since it says AD413A in one spot it could be an
"Analog to Digital Converter". Though two 50-pin connectors seem an awful
lot for that.

When you say 50-pin the first thing that comes to mind is SCSI, HOWEVER, I
think it's safe to say it's not that based on the chips. There is
something else that uses 50-pin connectors, but I'm to tired to remember.
