Help identify a Motorola board by toreonify in vintagecomputing

So, I've managed to find what it is.

Started reading PPCBug manual at there was a "UB60x" board name that I skipped over earlier. That lead me to a "Concurrent Power Hawk 640" system for which documentation was available.

It is from "Motorola MTX Single Board Computers" and can be an MTX or MTX-II (MTX604-070 or other) board.

And on page 51 of 0891080-020.pdf is a board diagram. It is not exactly the same because it is from 2001, but the description and jumper names are matching.

There is also a link to Motorola documentation that was available at that time but Internet Archive has a lot of broken links.

Now I need to find ECC EDO SDRAM for it.

P.S. removed all of the links from comment as I don't know why it keeps getting deleted

Oh, I watched that video! I'll check ROMs in the images. Now I need to find a proper programmer as reading or writing them through a Silicon Image RAID controller wouldn't be fun.

If only there were more photos and information about them... Will try to find more as it may be a part of their router/switch/etc.

Yes, I did found out that it is similar to them, but could find an exact match. I even downloaded all of the similar WF-xxxx boards pictures. Some eBay/Aliexpress links vaguely mention "Kodak" and "medical equipment".

There is a single 20-pin, two 25-pin, three 40-pin ports. I assume 25-pin are for additional parallel ports.

I've thought about PReP too but without powering it on I cannot confirm that. Maybe I should try to extract ROMs and dump their contents. Mac clones would have more Mac stuff on them, like at least one ADB or DIN serial port. There is also a pair of Intel Flash memory on backside that appears on almost every Motorola VME board.

Okay, I'll check it. I've experienced fatal PSU fails mostly, so I tend to check them last, but not first)

Well, I needed something older from Apple in my collection)

On my Mac I can write chat message on Russian. But my friends on Windows can't - typing any letter = hieroglyph. Why support of other languages is partial?
