I can't tell from the picture. It could be. I think I saw in one of those articles that a SCSI card would be supported on the Daystar special bus.
Looks like three rows of approx.36 pins, so it's likely a EuroDIN Connector for a Daughtercard, or maybe that's how their interconnect system worked, but you'd expect to see a female on one side and a male connector on the other. =8-/

Dunno, could be for a ribbon cable/flex circuit daisy chain connection . . . :?:

Ah, if I had been wealthy in Daystar's heydey instead of a student clinging to a shoestring.
I feel your pain, comrade, I was a new father, running a business on a shoestring back in the day. My two largest purchases ever were for a Radius Rocket 33 and 32 MB of PC SIMMs to fill it . . .

. . . when memory prices were at their peak, no less! ::)

Then again, If I'd had money, I wouldn't know beans about pushing the Old Iron and Peripherals for all they're worth . . . or have a bunch of Documentation from Apple Press, ads/specs and magazine articles stored away for all the stuff I lusted after, but could never afford as research materials! [:D] ]'>

It's a good thing everybody gave me cameras, lenses and Japanese Pull Saws as presents, cuz nobody could have afforded the computer toys I wanted! [;)] ]'>
