No. Peter Wendt's program for MCA cards is truly excellent and has
supplied the ADF for many unknown cards of mine but it didn't have this one.
As a fan of MCA I've generally snapped up any I see, and most of the time
with no documentation.

That does sound like an arcnet card, although it could also be some sort
of data acquisition interface. Many arcnet cards do have an epoxy encased
module for some of the media interface circuitry.
Do you have the .adf file for this board?

It's looks like a fairly simple board and there are no significant
chips that you can see. The 4 port section chips and components are
encased in black plastic-like material, similar to what I've seen on
other NICs, each on it's own section of the board. It does have 4 LEDs
on the face of the card. To indicate activity I imagine. I tried Peter
Wendts MCA card i.d. program to no avail. I also have an unknown MCA board by Pure Data
copyrighted 1987 with
4 BNC connectors. I had thought it might be an arcnet (which IIRC
PD was heavily involved with) board. Some sort of hub on a card.
What kind of chips does it have on it? Usually you can identify a these
kinds of boards based on the chips they use.
