It's an interface for a standard Userport to Centronics printer cable, so you
can have the Userport free and still use a parallel printer with #4. There
was an alternative ROM available from the manufacturer that let you attach a
special cable to this header and the 2nd drive connector to give you an
IEEE488 connection in addition to the (single) fast Prologic drive.
Unfortunately I don't have this ROM.

I can't help with a manual for this version, I only own the newer version
with only one PCB, an 6821 instead of the 6522 and no pass thru socket (I
guess that's what it is, too). But normally the second drive is attached to
the second header on the C64 expansion port PCB, so I also wonder what else
the extra port in the drive could be?

I promised info, ROM dumps and maybe more on DD3 and Prologic DOS to him long
ago, but partly I keep forgetting and the other part it's lack of time that I
still didn't send him anything :(
I have the manual for Prologic DOS Classic as mentioned above, at least the
commands should be mostly the same. I only fear that if you ask me to scan
the manual, it would only add to the list of things I keep forgetting :(
