It is, I was thinking it might be a DOS card but I've never seen one quite like that and there isn't much to go on so I was just curious about it.Is that a Quadra/Centris 650? I think the odds are equal it's a DOS card and those are serial ports on the back for the machine on the card. If so, this would probably be the first DOS card (Houdini I), I believe first shipped in 1994 with some 6100, but were also compatible with NuBus Quadras, and originally known simply as "the DOS card." A later DOS card for 6100 (66 MHz 486DX2, Houdini II) I think could also be used in NuBus Quadras.
I suspect there are members here intimately familiar with the DOS compatibility cards and can confirm or deny my speculation.
The first card is either some graphics card for Macintosh monitors (if DB-15) or possibly a 10Base2 network interface, which used the same connector. Judging by the connector, the last card appears to be a fast wide SCSI card.
I think your right, bummer not a super interesting card for me at least.It's not the same card, but it gives me REALLY strong avid vibes, like this one that came with my Q950.

Edit: actually the main part of the card DOES look the same, but with a different end on it. All the visible components in the same spot.

Blue interboard connection screams NUVISTA TRUEVISION to me, but my card's the Rev 2.0 from 1990 version of the 'fritter board. Simple, half populated ZIP VRAM extension. Mine has the daughterboard lacking on the 'fritter card. Same pair of DE9 connectors on the back.Care to share your guesses?
