This looks like a later version of the Atron Debugger I used in
a Zenith Z-150 (I still have the Zenith). It had its own debugger
software, it plugged into an available slot, had a ribbon cable
that plugged into the 8088, and a place to put the 8088 you removed
from the CPU board (the 8088 was on a separate CPU board in the
Zenith).

I'll have to go bug my former employer (15 year ago) and see
if he still has it and wants to let go of it, along with perhaps
the Zilog REO Development System and the IMSAI 8080 he had...).
