I stopped by the Free Geek Minneapolis today, and over on the free shelf was a strange looking box. Reminded me of the programming panel I built as part of the "How to build your own self programming robot" that I never completed. Guessing the DB0-7 are data bits. ISA board tester or primitive memory tester?

What's your guess? I don't know what it is. Is it worth saving for when Antiques Road Show comes around or send it to Christie's? Or just your everyday, unknown, homemade, handy trash?

That's not even enough pins for an early 4bit computing bus AFAIK?


Got a pic of the other side of that board?
