Thanks Chris.. yes I think you are correct. ?Here is a photo of it:

This is the CPU board. ?I'm wondering why it has four EPROMs, and what the two
unmarked do. ?This is where I wish there were a manual.. or even a good pic of an
untouched original board to compare.

I'd just settle for being able to fool around in the monitor. ?But I think this
monitor is called WEEBUG because it's very stripped down.

I have all kinds of SWTPC 6800 stuff here and I think I recognize your floppy controller
as a PERCOM LFD-400 board.? These are somewhat unique because they are built around a sync
USART (S2650) and use 10-hole hard-sector floppy media (just like Heath H17 and Northstar
systems).
Can you see any PERCOM logo on the floppy controller board?
Are there two 2708 EPROM on that board?

I made a video showing the current 'WEEBUG' ROM in case any are curious
or someone out there knows about it.
Thanks!
