This appears to connect to the left side expansion port on the Amiga 500. See https://github.com/endofexclusive/greta/raw/master/greta.pdf For the 1000, it has almost the same connector, but inverted in gender. Not sure about the 1200. For the 2000, there's the Zorro slots, which serves the same purpose, but is an entirely different type of connector. I don't think there's a ready made adapter available for either. There was an adapter to use Zorro cards on an A500, but not the reverse case.
