A backplane is a motherboard of sorts. In the old Bandit1 I used to run, there were about 8 different cards that plugged into the backplane. The backplane may not have any components on it, just interconnecting circuitry. Chances are an upgrade board may have gold plated pins on it, sometimes originals had just tinned pins which tended to oxidize more frequently due to heat and vibration.
