Thanks Al,
The board is a rebadged IS-M68K. It has the standard 256K onbaord ram and is
capable of the full 4 MB of local Qbus memory and it also has three serial
ports. The eproms, as stated before are the MACS Prom which has the MACSBUG
monitor. An option, as stated in the manual is a UNIPS Prom which allows
bootstrapping of Unix from a variety of hardware. My googling has found out
that the M68K ran a versions of V5 and V6 as well as 4.3BSD.
Does anyone know if a unix can be bootstraped from the Macsbug monitor.
Cheers
Tom

That looks like a fun little board (the 68000 is one of my favorite
processors). I'd be curious to learn what devices their flavor of
UNIX supports. Given the era, I'd almost expect MSCP disk and little
else, but it'd be interesting to know.
