Andy,
These are original Mark-8 boards with custom daughter
boards and custom (redefined) expansion bus. This was
a common modification made to Mark-8 boards as people
got frustrated with the original bus design. I don't
know why the crystal is missing, as the crystal wasn't
optional (the original Mark-8 in the Radio Electronics
magazine didn't have one, but those boards never made
it to production).
I have extra Mark-8 boards if you need them (originals
and copies from the artwork, I sold them on ebay a
while back) as well as all the spare parts necessary
to built one (to the original spec anyway), drop me an
email if you need some parts. I also can help with
technical questions as I have built 5 working Mark-8's
in the past 2 years, most likely though I probably
won't be much help with this heavily modified version.

Hi! :)
Whelp... I actually lack total confidence as to what
it is. :\ The CPU board, at least looks like a
Mark-8
one. Alas, I don't have anything that looks like the
LED output board, but there also doesn't seem to be
a
slot for one. :(
I've popped some pictures up at:

a
bit slow - 'tis on a cable modem. (I put it up under
MARK8, but I truly don't know. :( )
If something doesn't work, please don't hesitate to
toss a note this way!
