   What the Cosmac board? Let's see, It's 8 1/4" high x 9" deep. It has an
edge connector with about 88 contacts with what looks like .156" spacing.
There are four 1/2 AA size batteries near the top. Probably Nicads. They're
growing white fuzz. The CPU is near the edge connector and is a RCA CDP
1802CE. It has the number 936 below the CDP number. Below it are three ZIF
sockets, two of them have 2516 EPROMs in them. To the left of the CPU are
two AMI 8039 22 pin ICs. All the other ICs are SSI. On the bottom edge it
says "TRANSYT CORP. CPU T-3020". The end opposite the edge connector has a
metal plate at a right angle to the card. So it's obviously made to slide
into something. The metal plate is 1" wide x 9 7/8" tall. It has a small
switch on it that's marked battery test and there's a LED above it. The
bottom edge of the plate says "CPU" and there is a captive screw and the
top and bottom of the plate.

  Any idea what it's out of?
