Don't know if you guys found this but I did find one computer reference.

http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=196

and the data sheet on bit savers for the chips(thank you Al).

If your wondering, I was looking for information on a Strobe Data Hawk  
board and happen to go the the simulogics web site.  The have a  
product called reNOVAte which happens to emulate the Strobe Data board  
and the 9440 / 9445 Microprocessor.  Having never heard of that micro,  
the hunt was on.

Don't you love these little distractions?
