Rolf;
That first card looks strangely like my North Star Horizon ZPB-A2 CPU Card.
The only difference I can see is that it doesn't have the Printed logo on the Lower portion.

No doubt about it the top board is a NS* ZPB, I have one infront of
me. It's 100% corolation ringt down to the optional parts for 2708
EPROM and on th right the two sockets and the SIP resistor for
front pannel use. It would not surprize me if NS* privated labled
some of their production for others. As to the printed logo I ahve
two that do not have that silkscreened on. Whats missing is the
along the left most trace is also "Northstar Computers inc C77 USA".

The bottom board while very similar to a PROMII is definately
different. It does look like it's configurable for mixed ram/rom.

Didn't surprise me at the time to find anybody with the ability to
make boards copying just about anything they thought they could
make a buck from.

Highly unlikely NS* would have left their ID off anything they made.

clone (copies) more likely.
