What is this?

        I think so. I have vague recollections of these cards, along with the
Corvus drives. The red molex connector on the left is the network
connector. Why they put it on that end, instead of where it might hang out
the slots only Corvus knows. It's a three wire connector, but I don't
remember if it's half duplex balanced pair, or full duplex single ended.

Sounds reasonable; but are the connectors on the card consistent with that
hypothesis?
