There are two of these:

I suspect they're from some form of terminal (or maybe printer?), and
now that they're separated from the rest of the system they're just
junk. Note that someone seems to have scavenged a bunch of power
transistors (or something) from them.
This is the main logic board of an F890
streamer drive. It has been
stripped of the TO5 and heatsink down the top, and I'm amazed none of
the connectors were clipped.
pretty much scrap unless you want to scavenge the remaining proms and
label their locations for possible bit rot on another unit.
The auction below is for a ridiculously priced unit from some Microdata
system. It should only be listed for about 50 to 100 bucks as it almost
certainly will need to be repaired.
thanks
