A member from the vintage computer forum suggested that I post this here
before throwing it in the scrap pile. I'd much rather make a couple dollars
or trade and see it go to someone that might use it or need it anyway.

Looks like an 8-bit ISA backplane, though I couldn't be 100%
sure. Not familiar with that one, though it definitely doesn't
look like S-100.
If anyone has an S-100 backplane (of any type or size) and is
looking to sell or trade, I'm interested. I have a few of the
N8VEM S-100 boards, but nothing to attach them to so far (and
it looks like they won't be making their backplane any time
soon).

I just tried a card in it and it does seem to be an ISA backplane of some
sort.

I'm going to have to agree with Andrew, I think this is probably from a
Northstar Dimension. Those machines supported 12 hosts via CPU cards, so
the number of slots also seems about right. The main host was an 80186 and
each of the CPU cards had an 8088. If you don't find a taker here, someone
on eBay may want it.

Awesome, thanks guys. I'll take $10 for it if anyone here is interested
before I list it on fleabay.
