Title: Does anyone know what this is?

See picture.

It came with my A2000 but the A2000 was disassembled when i bought it and this card was loose.

It is not a zorro or anything like that. I has cables which look like they are for a 5.25" floppy drive and it has what looks like where u can plug 3.5" floppy cables in it.

Weird! I'd say it has nothing to do with an Amiga. Maybe the guy had a Bridgeboard once and that's some kind of a PC part. Looks to be a controller of some kind. Even has its own Zilog CPU on it. The other connector at the south end of the board looks like it might have connected to a CPU Fast Slot card of some make, but I kinda doubt it.

Looks like a MFM to SCSI adaptor. It allows you to use a MFM hard drive as a SCSI drive.
