Hi all.
I recently bought a mystery blinkenlight panel. Closer inspection reveals it was
manufactured by Intel in the early 70?s (1973), and some people on the book of faces
suggested it was part of a ?device multiplexer?(?)
I?m 95% confident it?s not strictly a ?computer? blinkenlight panel, but rather an
attached device, but that still hasn?t helped me narrow down what exactly it was from.
I?ve not seen any early Intel stuff as rack-mount, so i?m wondering if it was a
prototype, or maybe a piece of internal/non-commercial hardware for Intel's own use.
I?m hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on this mystery.

Any reason the picture is upside down? Also, blurry, so it
is hard to read the labels. it seems to have two 9-bit
bytes and a memory address.
