I've come across two full-length eight-bit ISA

Communications. The main chips on it is a family of Zilog chips: Z80
CPU,
2?SCC, Z80 CTC. The blanking plate fatures a micro-D50, the same kind
found on
SCSI cards. It's not uncommon to find Zilog chips on SCSI controllers,
but
that connector was AFAIk introduced with SCSI-2, and an 8-bit SCSI-2
card
seems like an odd thing to do.
The card is labelled WNIM Z80 and is copyrighted 1990. The farther end
of the
card features two 10-pin headers marked PORT 1,2 and PORt 3,4
respectively.
What could this board be for?
Looks like they would be serial boards :
