I just made a trip over to the mill to check. The Diablo is a 44B. The
tape card reads "Newport Technology Corp. Model NT-10A Interface s/n 10091"

There is an addition M-1 memory card, an Asynchrous Mux 100133-C maker
unknown, a card marked Media III 531194L, with lights marked;
 
R R S D H C
W D N L D C
D Y C E E E

At least I think those lights are on that board, my notes are garbled.


Slot 1 is the Keronix CPU model ID516 12 #446
Slot 2 is a Keronix P-3 #907
Slot 3 is a Keronix type 1007-3 I/O Controller #I90412, marked "9600 Bd"
Slot 5 is a Keronix M-1 memory board "16KX16"
Slot 16/17 are a Digital Alarm System model MGC #334

The card cage is a Keronix 8117C No.B #1015

I'll try to get a picture up in a day or two.
