Anyone know if "DCU" is meaningful
Data Concentrator Unit springs to mind, especially with the many ports
option.

Hmm, true.
I've made a bit of progress - apparently the system as a whole is an Intel
310. Still not much google info, but I'm on my way to bitsavers in a sec...

Hi Jules,
Intel 310 systems were pretty common. On the RMX side they were used for
industrial control and automation. On the Xenix side they were business
systems used in transaction processing and distributed computing systems.
A company called InBus purchased all of the rights for Intel's development
and MBI/II systems and O/S's.
