Well what the heck, found it, we have one right here
in the CHM collection!!! It's
part of an HP 5451C Fourier Analysis system, and there are quite a few other bits
needed besides the HP-1000 and its many weird cards! I think I saw them from
the guy that I bought the HP 1000 from. I might go back.

A later revision of the 5451A system I had found below with the nice lady
picture.

The boards are also used in the HP 5420A/B Dynamic Signal Analysers and the HP 5423A
Structural Dynamics Analyser.
The boards belong to the 5443 control unit which is actually a M-series processor with
some add-ons like the booster board and a custom front panel/keyboard.
The analysers consists of three 19"boxes containing the 5441 Display unit, 5443
Control unit ant the 5441 AD-coverter and Digtal filter.
The boxes are connected through the MIOB (Multiple Input Output Bus) a 16 bits bus used
to communicate and control the various parts.
FYI the HP 5420 and 5423 were used to test parts of the space shuttle program.
Some other info of the units are on:
