What is this probably home made extension card for Victor HC-9x used for? Output connector is 50-pins, and only 4x 74LS541 + 1x 74LS245 on the pcb.

There are only buffers. I think this is a homemade expansion bus slot. At first glance, the pins are "odd numbered" but check to be sure.
Really interesting. Is it yours? What's the story behind it?
This comes at a perfect time for me. I just bought a H-90 unit and was going to make an internal cartridge slot, to solve the problem of only having one in the front.
I went ahead and started making an schematic out of your pictures, and will make some PCBs.
I'll upload it here when I finish.

did you already look at my vhd card, as there is the already pcb dimensions and also the connector?

Yes, it is mine, came from Japan with the victor HC-90. Do not know anything else about it.
Thank you for the link to your repo. Yes, it will save me a lot of time!
Do you happen to have an extra PCB for the RGB output you made that your willing to sell?
I'm playing with a LaserDisc unit and am hoping to control it from the integrated serial port. Maybe some day we can make a video meeting and talk about all this!
I have extra pcbs for that victor rgb output, but it seems that 5 pcb from jlcpcb.com will cost same (with cheapest shipping method) as one pcb shipping cost from Finland to Spain...
I finished the PCB re-creation in Kicad:

I've added SOUNDIN to an unused pin in the backplane connector and a junmper to select between the two different slot select signals.
@popolon_ Could you post a couple of pictures more of that board? I could use a straight top and bottom view it to confirm everything is fine.
Here are from top and bottom view
Thanks! PCBs ordered. I'll write back when I receive them.
