Eric - could that board in your RC-96 possibly be the optional Serial board that was offered by ACC for the RC-96 controller? I have a couple of RC-85's, and I have been listing requests for help over the last few years on the ACC mailing list for some help in getting one to function with a Kenwood TS-440S HF Transceiver (with no luck).
According to the RC-85 Manual, both the RC-85 and the RC-96 (if you have the optional Serial board for the '96) can control a TS-440S HF Rig. I've never been able to find anyone who actually did this with the RC-85 - the documentation leaves a lot to be desired. So I've been keeping my eye open for an RC-96 if it has that optional Serial board, but I think that finding one will be about as possible as getting the RC-85 to do the same job, which doesn't need any extra boards. HF rig control may be one of those "Features" that ACC figured no one would ever use (like RC-850 Antenna Rotor control, until I bought all the extra boards later, at lots of $$$.) I don't have my ACC documentation here at home, so I can't give you a model/part number for that optional Serial board.
