Very nice, thank you! That DPS-6 page wasn't kidding when they said the
boards were on the large side! Very interesting; they definitely have their
own unique style about them ... they really liked to use daugherboards!
That memory expansion card is sort of unusual. As is the edge connector for
the bus.
Best,
Sean

Please take lots of pics

the DPS-8 inside and out; I've never really seen the innards of a

I put a few pictures up here:

Nice bitslice processor in there, an Ethernet controller, some memory
(looks like 2MB) and as for the other boards, I'm not yet sure...)
