Eric,

        I just pulled mine out and it's a DSI-780 and it has a QA
sticker on the back dated 3/3/87. Mine has a 16mhz 68020 and a 16mhz
68881, though there's still another socket that looks like it may be
for another 68020? The 68882 wasn't the exact same size as the 68020
was it? There are also 16 SIMM's, soldered directly to the board,
each with 9 41256-12 chips. That's what leads me to believe that it
is a total of 4meg of RAM. I believe I asked about this board a few
years ago when this list was first getting started.

        Jeff
