Going through my old Qbus and Unibus cards getting
them ready to sell I found
a very interesting card with four Z80 based computers on a Qbus card. It
appears to me to be four complete 8 bit computers on a quad card, each with
CPU and memory but no I/O. It is all socketed chips with the only other large
chips being a pair of 2901 bit slicers.
It is copyrighted 1983 by Virtual Microsystems and called the Z-Board. Made
in the USA.
Any idea what it was and what it was used for? Google turned up nothing other
than VM was bought and sold several times.

It ran Z80 based CP/M applications on this board under VAX/VMS.
