Yes Steve, it is some type of Ethernet card. From what info I found,
it apparently appears to the Apple as a storage card. Disk images were
loaded across the network (10Base-2). I assume that the original disk
image server was another Apple. The software I was asking about was
written to allow a PC to assume this role. Apparently, the card is
compatible enough to talk real Ethernet to the PC, once you plug it
into a hub. At least that's my understanding, from what I read.

I don't know any more about this card. It does have a BNC pigtail that
plugs into an RCA jack on the board. It's a full-length board. I have
no docs.
