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!
