MS670-CA L4001-CA

64MB memory board. I have two of these.

64MB Clearpoint Memory

Status

I am occupied with other work, so this is for future.

I have 3x64=192MB RAM. The CPU board probably offers a console. It for sure contains LAN and disk controllers.

Required for basic setup would be a backplane, some PSU, which may be a PC PSU.
