Heh.  At one point, I had three of them and two of the monster hard 
drives.  When space got tight, things had to go.

I never was able to find out much of anything about the CPU.  I think it 
said Intersil on it, but otherwise seemed proprietary to the 64000.  It 
went with a large plastic storage bin full of memory boards, I/O, EPROM 
burner, you name it.  The guy who picked it up filled a van :-).
