IIRC, it's possible it's associated with

colleagues had a set of three or four ISA cards, each of which had four 68030's
on it, each with what I then saw as a significant amount of RAM for its task.
He was using that together with a pretty fancy set of software for a MAJOR
automatic transcription task, and, from what I gathered, it did a good job.
I don't know about your board, but the ones I saw were fully packed on both
sides. It was, for the time, VERY impressive to see. The results were pretty
impressive, too, as he'd converted about 6000 pages of text into a searchable
document on a set of CD's.
This sounds like some boards made by Calera that I used back in '90
or so. They were pretty impressive.
