My guess is that those two PDS lookin' EuroDIN connectors on the underside were for a pair of, or one very large, NuBus Risers for the Rockets. I've never actually counted pins, but the rectanglular cross section says PDS pincount to me.
With one stack of fourteen Rockets, that'd mean the PSU(s)(?) and Drive Bays would stack front-n-back on the other "side" of the Rockets above the MoBo.
Under RocketShare with the DSP DaughterCard, or the more affordable STORM Card, in DSP support, coupled with a PAS16, SAII Card or equivalent, I think an early nineties IIfx MPEGDEC stereo output CoPro rig would BD'Bombe. [}
] ]'> PixelPlaytime in PhotoShop on another Rocket using the DSPs on the NuBus Card for a 21" Display with your playlist/panel in a window or on a second monitor along with your menus would be killer. you'd still have slots for a SCSI II Card and NIC left over in that config.
A custom multihreaded parallel co-processing App running multiple Rockets under A/UX? SETI work units? All new driver setup for 'NIX though.
Dunno, I'm a knuckle dragger, programming is beyond my purview, but that'd be the place for hackin' a Rocket, it never happened other than Radius' RIP code back in the day as I recall. Having that code re-surface would be better'n having a complete SkyLab turn up, especially the source code! [
