Nice Job. A Challenger II with the extra huge backplane for tons of very 
large boards plus the dual 8" floppy. I'd have to look at the docs. Is C3B a 
processor board or the box? I'll check this afternoon. I wrote piles or 
physical chemistry research stuff on that thing and added an AMD9511 floating 
point processor. Again, all Forth, and it ran a lab built UV 
spectrophotometer built into a bench.

The Volvox has an extra box of processors under it to bring the total to, 
gosh, I'm going to have to go count!
