I found an Emulex CU04...... Qbus card today. Being the curious type, I
picked it up.
It's got a 34 pin header on the handle edge, and about 15 feet of
shielded ribbon cable with it......
Now for the question of the day: What is it?
Any thoughts?
OT: Emulex (and their web site) seems to ignore everything that's not
current product.......

'CU' in Emulexian (oooh, new language!) usually means a communications
adapter of some sort.
I suspect what you have is one half of a multiport serial setup.
Unfortunately, with Emulex, the other half is a lot more than just a distro
panel. There's a bunch of electronics in it as well, so you need both
matching halves for that unit to be useful.
