I just found a dual Motorola 68000-based board at work, complete with a
great many little full memory chip sockets, etc. It's pretty cool. It's
from our old typesetting system (and I mean _old_), "EPIC". I have no
idea what it ran, or even in detail what it was - but it's cool to see
those _long_, heatsinkless Motorola CPUs.
