Hmm, that sounds like my 1076C.  One board had a 68000 that 
ran the plotter servos, the other was the "plot manager" 
that had a big RAM buffer and sorted the plot vectors for 
optimum speed.  I think it mostly communicated with the host 
computer and plotter main board by serial.  Both boards had 
68K processors.
