I think the name etched into the copper implied it

Uh, yes I actually did read that, but evidently lost
the knowledge rather quickly. Nuff said.
Funny though that someone would go to all the
trouble, and expense, to simply add an 8086 though. I
guess it could have been a fast 8086. But a board like
that probably wasn't cheap.
