I have a Zetaco SCZ3-2 board, probably a SCSI

This board seems to be in good shape, but unfortunately two square

Do you have a photo of the board? If it uses a fairly generic SCSI chipset
it might be possible to narrow it down from a photo of the board. Maybe a
chip collector "collected" it's CPU and/or EPROM(s)?
Those slots may not be for a CPU or EPROM. It may be some kind of expansion
for DRAM or something for cache, especially if it is a SCSI HBA. I remember
various cards over the years having empty slots on them where you could add
RAM/DRAM and other chips to boost the cache size or memory available (like
for a video card.)
Alternately, those slots could be for a CPU or EPROM that could turn that
SCSI card into some kind of hardware RAID card (highly unlikely given the
age of the card, though.)
