I've got a feeling that the board you have is just amemory board without a CPU.Unfortunately I cannot get at my old Amiga mags but I do remember seeing ads for Magnum boards.

For specs search on http://www.amiga-hardware.com/
Its a good specs resource.

It have 2 photos and says:

Max Ram: 8MB
FPU: Optional (40Mhz PLCC 68882)
Ram Type: 1 x 72pin SIMM.
SCSI II: Optional

The Magnum RAM 8 plugs into the trapdoor slot of the A1200 and provides it with up to 8MB of additional RAM. It also includes a battery backed up clock. It has been reported to recognise 8MB even if the PCMCIA slot is in use, but there's no guarantee that it will not cause problems if memory usage becomes high.
