Mark,
Best as I can tell, the card(s) I have/had around here aren't either of the
type you've indicated.
At the time, I wasn't able to ID them either.. and in one of those
"moments", I think I shite-canned the lot of them - only keeping one as an
example. Please forgive me, Apple friends.. =)

Nope, wrong stuff. The cards I have/had used a pair of DB-9 connectors on
the rear panel - IIRC..
I was told they were for "localtalk" but I know virtually nothing about
Apple II-era hardware.
The boards you describe sound like they might be the older Apple II
AppleTalk II boards, as pictured here:

I don't understand yet how the functionality of the AppleTalk II vs.
Workstation Card products differ. I would blindly speculate that the
AppleTalk II cards might have used the same AppleTalk connector box dongle
that the earliest Macintosh computers used?
