I once had a Bridge Communcations board that had a 68K in a PGA and a 68121
(48-pin DIP) and a bunch of really fast PISO and SIPO logic including some
FIFO's. I never learned what it was for, since the only reason I wanted it
(it was already scrap) was for the parts. I was able to use the FIFO's and a
few of the other parts, plus some of the sockets, for a kludge job, but I
think I still have the two CPU's lying about.

Rumor has it that Eric Chomko may have mentioned these
words:

chips

and
couple of
crystals, 16 and 20 MHz.

Never had one, but it sounds like it could be an OS-9/68K board, with which
one could run a version of OS-9 on. Dunno if docs would be around, but
pinging the newsgroup comp.os.os9 might get you a lead or two on the
Hope this helps,

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an *older* .sig.
