Hi Jules,
it looks like you found a nice Z80 CP/M system ...
... the CPU card is probably a PROF80, and the I/O board is a GRIP 1 terminal
card. Both of them had been distributed by conitec, germany. The cards were
described in the german computer journal c't (they sold bare boards too) ...

You will find some details at http://www.prof80.de (in german, of course :-))

Bernd
