new find: an Intel MDS 800 - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

probably more likely that Siemens cross licensed the chips (made those) and wanted
development support for them in Europe. Intel manufactured Siemens brand MDS systems
during that time at part of the license agreement

 Siemens and Intel worked together on Multibus-II
products in the mid 80s' 
  I don't know if Intel worked together with any of them but at one time
there were over 200 companies producing Multibus cards. In this area, I
find a LOT of Harris cards.

Siemens.  There were several Intel products that had Siemens logos on 
them sold in Europe.  Unfortunately, I don't remember the specifics.

     I've never heard of a Siemans system. The
white MDSs that I've seen 
 all
 have the standard Intel markings and labels. (I've got one sitting 
 about 3
 feet from me as I type.)
