If I remember correctly, DY 4 Systems, now part of Curtiss-Wright, made
extended depth Multibus boards.

It appears to be an extended-length Multibus II
board with 2 8-bit DACs
on
it. Output for an XY scope?
Extended-length Multibus. Definitely not Multibus II, which uses Eurocard
6Ux220 form factor with two 96-pin DIN 41612 connectors.

Given that it's extended length anyhow, and thus not compliant with the bus
spec, it doesn't really matter which side of the board the components are
on, other than it precludes use in some backplane slots. I may have been
designed that way to fit in a specific slot in a specific machine.

On the other hand, the pin count on the wider edge connector is 100 rather
than 86 so not Multibus.

Hey, just checking - I think the puzzle has already been solved twice. I
mentioned that I was pretty sure it's a Compugraphics board, and someone
else said the same thing a few days later, but neither of those posts
received any replies.
Cheers,
Mike
