Power Tip: If you cut n paste to the end of the item number, it looks
much neater.
First look, 16-bit card. The slight blurring makes it so much more interesting...
DB-78 [?] or some humongo connector, no cable, one receiver card [must
be in expansion chassis.

PC-Slave card was used with the PC version, the "PC-XBUS" external
chassis was used by both ISA systems and MCA systems. The XBUS looks to
be ISA.
PC-LAN was an alternative to a real LAN. When LANs dropped in price, the
need for the XBUS withered away.

My SWAG, the PC-SLAVE intelligent card is housed in the PC-XBUS chassis
and communicates over RS-232. Sordid like the GUEST card in a MCA
system, except this resembles a buncha SBC on a backplane.
Dunno if the MCA card HI/2 has any CPU, looks more like it is a
conversion betwixt the MCA bus to the ISA bus.

A recent implementation of the star topology is the Alloy PC- Slave,
which uses a separate interface card (installed in the file server) for
each workstation. This interface card is almost a personal computer in
itself, with its own CPU and memory, but the disk and printer resource
are shared with the file server. Because the interface cards are
intelligent, all workstation processing takes place on the slave card,
leaving the file server's own processor free to handle other jobs. Data
transfers are very fast, since the interface card shares the same data
bus as the file server and the data does not have to be transmitted
across a cabling system. Since the network interface has its own
processing power, a dumb terminal may be used as the workstation.
