Oooh, that has an 8X300 on it. I've never seen one in the wild. The 8X300 was a stupidly fast (for 1980) Signetics microprocessor. I designed some hardware around it when at Bell Labs in 1986 (which never even made it to the hardware prototype stage). It ran with an 8MHz clock, and could do an entire instruction cycle (fetch, decode, execute) in 250ns. It had a very simple instruction set, obviously (i.e. RISC). To read more about the 8x300: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signetics_8X300 Bill Dudley retired Bell Labs (among other things) This email is free of malware because I run Linux.

I have a WD 1001-05 (no a PC board). Anyone interested in buying this? Here's a picture of it:

Last used in the 1990's with my Atari ST.
