If you mean a card that allows operation of a DIO-II card outside the
cardcage, HP does not sell one.  A small number of extender boards were made
several years ago for factory use, but they bore no part numbers, were not
orderable, and we now have barely enough left for internal uses.

You best bet is to insert the target DIO-II card in the top slot of the SPU
box or 98570A expander.  Remove the cover to said SPU/expander, and poke and
probe to your heart's delight.  (This also eliminates trace-length from
consideration in any timing problems).
