First of all, NOT MINE!!!
Saw this on ebay and can't seem to find much info about it.
Anybody know what it is?

Never seen one either.
Here's the manual for the Escort 2 (which seems to contain 2 slots which will either take 2 x 2MB RAM cards or 1 x 2MB & SCSI controller (or even other stuff)
I wonder if the one on eBay is an earlier version that simply contains the SCSI controller with no 2nd slot for RAM.

Interesting! All your links go to ebay!

My link vanished. Those remaining ones are auto-generated by this site.
Here's another one for the Escort 2 with downloadable manuals:

and this seems to be the one on eBay:
http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/escort500
Escort 500
Company: Expansion Technologies, USA Date: 1987 Amiga A500 Interface side expansion port
Zorro I expansion chassis
•two Zorro I slots
•one 5.25" drive bay for the optional hard disk (requires a Zorro I hard disk controller card)
•one 3.5" drive bay for the optional 2nd floppy drive (requires a Zorro I floppy controller card)
•optional internal power supply
•connects to the A500 side expansion port
•sits on top of the A500
•2 MB RAM in 64 DIP sockets
•256k×1 DIPs
I'm wondering if that eBay lisiting is just the controller card that needs to slot into the actual Escort 500 since the description above seems to be for some large "box" that contains a 5.25" and 3.5" bay.

Sent a question to the seller and they responded the board is a SCSI interface. Also said they didn't see any place for a RAM expansion.

Yeah looks like its incomplete missing the Zorro expansion box...
