   I've got one of these.  Goal is to eventually probe the MCA bus,   
   particularly some of the RS/6k frame buffers.   
      
   I'm not sure how complex the device is, I guess there is the board   
   itself which should be relatively simple to replicate it just mentions   
   "bus loading".  It also came with a disk that gave the LA some knowledge   
   of the MCA mnemonics.
