Anybody know what this card is? It has no card edge connectors like a Q-bus or Unibus
card but does have a metal plate with connectors along one side. The plate has a BNC,
DB-9M, DB-15M, DB-25M, RJ (something) and an eight pin Molex connecotr on it. The board
has a NEC 7220 graphics IC, an AMD 8085 CPU and several LSICs with DEC copywrites on it.

That sounds like a board from a VT-series terminal. Not sure what model,
however.

Sounds like a VT220 or VT240 logic board.

That's a good guess, especially with the 8085 on there (ISTR that's
the CPU in a GIGI).

But it's not. A Gigi has an 8-pin molex, two DB-25M's and 4 BNC's on the
back (I just took a look at mine to verify).

The description of connectors matches, though the part number is off by
one digit. The VT240 has logic board part number 50-15494-01. I must
remember to build some fuzzy searches into my database!
For the benefit of future searchers, the VK100 (GIGI) main board part
number is 54-14230-00.
