I was as surprised as you are! I honestly did not even know they
existed until I found out I had one.
There are two expansion cards installed: The Ethernet card (with its
terrible, terrible TCP/IP stack), and a Voice Power board. I have the
Voice Power install disks, but no manual. It doesn't appear to be on
BitSavers. Still, there were a few example scripts installed and the
board does fairly good voice synthesis. Color me impressed.
The third expansion slot is empty and missing its rear bracket, but
DOS-73 software is installed on the system, so I suspect it used to
hold a DOS-73 Co-Processor card. A real pity, man that would have been
nice to have.

I reset the root password and got into the
system. It has the TCP/IP
drivers loaded, and I'm able to do marvelous things like telnet and
ftp on my LAN. Remarkable!
Apparently you really do have the Ethernet card.
