[net.micro.68k] graphics hardware help wanted - mystery circuit board

brian@sdcsvax.UUCP (Brian Kantor) (04/29/85)

At the computer swap meet yesterday, I picked up a mystery circuit board
that appears to be a sophisticated graphics controller.  I'm listing
here a description of the board in the hopes that someone will recognize
it and perhaps tell me where I can find more documentation on it.  I'd
rather get it working than strip it down for parts.

Please reply by mail:

		quadrant of the board, (two rows of 12 chips, with a row
		of 74S299 and DP8304 chips above that)

If you know who made it, or where I can get a manual, or anything else
about this board, I'd really appreciate hearing from you!
