You are probably right. I did a closer study of the Alpha-16 reference
manual. The Alpha-16 front panel has more or less exactly the same switches
and lights as this machine.
According to the current owner it is based on a 16
bit machine made by
Computer Automation. It has core memory and is programmed in assembler and
Fortran. It is from the late seventies.
The packaging doesn't look like
anything from Computer Automation, but
they made a line of board-level components they called "The Naked Mini",
sold to OEMs for integration into their own packaging. The architecture is
probably similar to the Alpha-16 and Alpha LSI machines.
