In addendum to my own email, I did what I should have done first and
dumped the EPROM. The TRANSET is a Mailbox based on a 68008P8
processor, a R6522P, a Z8530PS, and 16 MCM6665BP20 (64k? chips).

The EPROM speaks to a printer, which likely uses the P1 port with the
orphan connector. Guessing that the Sn ports connect to input/output,
but not sure in what form.
