I'd say that nails it, good work!
Presently, I have a mail in to a Ken Ramsey who is a VP of sales at MCT. He
believes that they may well have made the board, and has promised to
forward my photos to their engineers - now in Malaysia - to see if anyone
recognizes it.
But at least we know who made it.. this mystery may yet be solved.

I think Holm nailed that one. The logo is
probably just a coincidence, as
it's pretty safe to say this board didn't originate in the 'Bad Old
Days'
of the DDR.. ;-)
Seems like MCT in Shoreview, MN is our best working hypothesis. Would be
nice to come across an advert or other piece of corporate ephemera from
the
early 1980s, to see what logo they used.
circa 1990,
