Confirmed. This is indeed the backplane board for a Northstar Dimension.
The connector on the bottom connects to the main processor board.

A member from the vintage computer forum
suggested that I post this here
before throwing it in the scrap pile. I'd much rather make a couple dollars
or trade and see it go to someone that might use it or need it anyway.

I'm going to have to agree with Andrew, I think this is probably from a
Northstar Dimension. Those machines supported 12 hosts via CPU cards, so
the number of slots also seems about right. The main host was an 80186
and each of the CPU cards had an 8088. If you don't find a taker here,
someone on eBay may want it.
