Cool! That looks like a CDS 1 or CDS II maybe. They
use the COSMAC
Microboard Universal Backplane and can nest a number of cool RCA cards
(CPU,
mem, i/o, disk, color video, etc..). Send some card
numbers. I've got
docs
on lot of them here.
Do any of your docs say
what "COSMAC" actually means? I was thinking along
the lines of "Chip On Sapphire MAChine" or something like that (the COSMAC
1802 was originally fabricated using a Silicon On Sapphire process that gave
it radiation resistance - IIRC NASA used 1802s on some deep-space probes).
Later.
