Are there any markings on the board? It's a lot easier to identify boards by
name/number, than by general physical description...

Let me check exactly what's there: it has the two DSSI bus connectors on
the console panel and the two connectors at the far left for DSSI bus 0.
There are two covered slots and then a slot with two identical connectors
that look like SCSI connectors. In between them is an MMJ connector.
The board has a label on it that says MUA on the bottom and '2' on the
top. I'm guessing this is a VMS device designator for 2 device units,
with device one on the bottom and device 2 on the top. Right. This is the connector on the far left.
However, this machine
has another card adjacent to the slot with the 2 DSSI connectors that
has what looks like a SCSI connector. I have to inspect the machine
more carefully to identify it for certain.
Many moons ago someone I know mistook the connector on a CXY08
(multiple serial line card) for a SCSI-1 connector! So do
check carefully.
