It has a compliment of 8 bit input and output ports made with 20-pin TTL chips, and the docs include full schematics. I can now adapt the design to other 8088 SBC computer ideas I have. It has a BASIC interpreter in ROM and the console is over a serial port. It apparently can burn EPROMs on-board and has about five open sockets for adding code. It's all on about a 5"x7" card and hails from the year 1992. It has, uh, all the power of a current-generation PIC from Microchip, but in a much neater package. That company is still in business www.vestatech.com, I developed some process controllers using their SBC2000-332 Motorola boards in the late 1990's (just before the crash in semiconductor equipment orders). They have since moved into a bigger building so they must be doing well.
