The information I got from the seller here is that these were pulled
... QED993 CPU boards...

I bought one of those and was disappointed to discover that they do
not implement any floating point emulation at all and I had no luck
getting either 2.11BSD or RSTS/E 10.1 to run on it.
So what's the QED993 good for? RSX-11 or a really fast RT-11 box? TSX-11?
Who were they aiming at? from from something like a stock trader firm where
speed was
everything.
These RAM drive cards were probably part of the same system setup:

Those look like 128MB cards in a 39x8 array of MB814100 4Mbit DRAMs, I
assume in an ECC configuration.
No idea what software they ran on these systems.
Not a lot of info on the archive of the Quickware Engineering & Design site.
