That would my my guess as well; add-on semiconductor memory for a 16-bit minicomputer. I
know Intel made the in-4011 for the PDP-11, but I never saw a picture of it.

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.
