Crovus made a proprietary external hard drive interface.  I think that it was a way of sharing
a sinlge harddrive between a workgroup.  I used to have the HDD box, had a 10MB ISI drive in it.
They used a 3 pin serial bus configuration I think, the dips are probably a device id for multiple
controllers.
