Well, now I had to dig it out of storage because I couldn't remember.
It was only the 5th box or so down the stack, so it's ok.
On the front, it's labeled "Educator II Microcomputer." To the
right of that there's a cute little logo with two hands with
transistors and a diode connecting them. Around the logo
it says HEP kit by Motorola.
Opening the box, I found one of the projects I did with it.
There's a little PC board I etched to burn 2716s 128 bytes
at a time. A couple of others included playing simple music
out the cassette interface and driving a Model 15 navy teletype
to print banners.

I do have the first one I ever owned. It's a
microprocessor trainer from
Motorola. It's got a 4801 (a little CMOS version of the 6800) and all of
256 bytes of memory. The interface is 8 toggle switches for data, 8 LEDs
for output and 3 toggle switches for control. It even had a cassette
interface.
Cool. What's the model number?
