XD88 Compute Engine Board by Maki Kato — last modified 2005-02-11 09:59

The heart of the XD88 - 88100 CPU, pair of 88200 CMMU chips, Ethernet, SCSI, hardcopy interface, and a bunch of sockets for custom 80-pin memory (16MB fitted here)

Two MB of VRAM (not bad for late 80's!). 8 bit colour, sync-on-green output. I've been unable to find any info on the four custom Tek chips at the heart of this thing. Note that the board also handles keyboard input.
