This is a network interface card for a (very old) Corvus network.  I
believe the card was originally built for a ][+.  You'll need Corvus
server hardware (I assume) if you ever wanted to use it.

I seem to recall someone who posted either here or on comp.sys.apple2
about wanting to network some ][+'s for a children's camp.  If he's
still reading this group, he might be interested in this card.

Sorry--no clue as to what this is (a power supply?).
