16 Bit processor upgrade card identification help needed

Chomot — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 19:07:04 GMT

My father gave me this vintage CPU upgrade card and I cannot find any information on it. The numbers on it are limited and what I do find there are no relevant results on Google etc.

Please help me find OEM specification information, user information etc. as I would like to see if I can get it working as a vintage restoration effort.

Thank you

Being you are an Intel employee and should have access to the archives, it would be helpful to the vintage hardware community if you can do some internal research to locate any information and software you can find about this and the other version of similar card and publish that here for people to find. The vintage hardware community is quite robust and dedicated in their hobby to keeping old hardware operational.
