I was given two boards that were "spares for a PDP-11/40." The
business that I got my PDP-11/40 from was cleaning out storage and
found these two boards and gave them to me.
It looks like board 2 is for a Sun 3/50 workstation. Board 1 is some
kind of micro-programmed processor based on AM29331 and AM29331. There
are also some Analog Devices DSPs.

Can anyone identify them?

I think this is a 3/60 processor. Not 3/50.
Can anyone identify them?

In the bottom right hand corner, above ?COMPONENT SIDE?, there is some
lettering that seems to read ?COMPUTER ? BEDFORD MA?. Given the DSP?s, the
MITRE corporation comes to mind. This might have been part of some
military or civil aviation signal processing system.

The second board is clearly out of a ComputerVision CADDstation.

Apologies, board *1*
Anyway, the CADDstation was a turnkey system based around the Sun 3 so it
makes sense that the boards are together.
If you look closely in the lower right of board 1 you can make out the
manufacturer's name.
