David,

that's any sort of QIC-02/36 adapter. Although most vendors showed
only their own, there are many manufacturers of them and many
revisions .... So, even if you don't find the board in your help
files, it's very likely that all jumpers are the same...
Anyway - most QIC-02 adapters doesn't work with fast PCs - i tried
with 4 different boards and, with all tricks tried,  none worked in a
P90, but all worked in a 386/20....
