Judging from the limited pic and model number this is an IBM AT
controller.  Easy check, is the card edge that connects to the computer
near the rear or the front?

To the rear it's an ISA card for the IBM AT ISA slots on the
A2000. That said, without a bridgeboard you really have no
use for this card and it's probably the older RLL type
controller.  How many cables come off it?
