   Does anyone know anything about the computer above? They appear to be
educational single board computers. A strip along the frond edge, lists a
number of commands to set breakpoints, jump in memory, examine memory, etc.
I found a pile of them at an auction preview. They're single board
computers that are mounted in a wooden boxs that measures roughly 10" x 12"
x 2". The box has a smoke colored plastic lid that's hinged in the back.
When it's closed, everything is covered except for a 3 x 4 keypad. The CPU
board appears to use the Motorola EXOR-bus and has a Motorola 6800 CPU.
There is a smaller card on the RH side that has the keypad and six digit
seven segment LED display. The ICs are dated 1979 and 1980.

   These appear to be part of a system. I found several other boxs that
were also made by ASCI. One of them has a micro-cassette drive. Another is
a switch box that switchs between a printer, punch, etc. Another larger box
has relays and a bunch of terminal strips on it. It appears that it's meant
to be controlled from the CPU box and can operate a good number of external
devices.

   I need to know what they are before Saturday.
