That's a version 2 pogoplug, specs below.

The armv6 based ones are the Pros and V3 versions.

I've currently got about 4 of the V2s that I'm working to build up a
small Fedora dev group on. Haven't played with the V3s yet. I've already
added a serial connection one of them. I wired up a JST connector to the
header and brought the lines out the back using a 3.5mm headphone jack.
I then connect a USB to 3.3v UART adapter.
Email me off list if you need the pin outs.
They're basically a guruplug in drag from what I recall.

Closer to a Sheeva Plug for the V2s.
