Hmm, lucky day I guess... I got a 11/780 and a 11/785 field maintenance
print set (2 different printsets) from the EE department. I'm rather
surprised that I didnt notice these several years ago.

Also, I saw what I swear must be a quad height pdp8 board. He wasnt
sure what it was, so he wouldnt let me have it yet. He thought it
might be a PDP11 board (did they make quad height PDP11 systems?).
Heres what the board says:

   Excelan
   Exos 204 s/n 001993

It has a 16 pin male ribbon cable connector on the top of the board,
and strange 2-part female connector in the middle of the board, sort
of like a 10 pin and a 36 pin ribbon female connectors joined together
so that there is a slight gap between them.

some intel chips on the board are dated 1982, the board itself is dated 1984.

Anyone know what this board is?
