It looks like a UDC card, second generation, to me.

I know that if you bought an AE drive and its controller directly from
AE, they sent you a UDC card just like that.

I seem to recall owning such a combination many moons ago, and it was
always a little flaky, as was the supposed support for non-standard
3.5" drives from Apple Macintoshes. I wound up selling the UDC and
keeping the AE drive, which i still have and is still a little flaky
so it sits in a box.

That said, last year I got from ebay a UDC with 2 genuine Laser 3.5"
drives, and I am pleased to report that this combination works
wonderfully, so I'm starting to wonder if I just had some bad hardware
all those years ago...
