Correction it's the BIG blue box. Mine is circa '76 or earlier and was
used by the DEC VT100(and others) development team.

What are they? Most of the SBCs I'm interested in are of the mid '70s
through mid 80s designs.

Hmm, the one I'm thinking of may be a later vintage. But if BIG means
a cube about 3' on a side, then it may be the same.

You've caught me with my hardware pants down. To my software eyes, they
look like VME cards, but I know Intel doesn't do much VME stuff. They're
386-16 boards from circa 1987 (just slipped under the 10-year barrier).
