I may be mistaken, but I believe that the Palantir board was one designed by
our own Jim Battle, if it is what I think it is - a board for OCR.  (Back in
1987 I used the stand-alone Palantir OCR machine - a cheaper $25,000(?)
alternative to the Kurzweil unit - to scan in 1100+ pages of all the
Sherlock Holmes stories.  It used 5 68000 CPU's and 2 MBs of ROM IIRC.)

Any comments, Jim?

A few items to give away.

I came across a box of stuff as I was cleaning out the server room.
Might be of interest to someone, might not.  I'd prefer local pickup
(Denver, CO area), but could be persuaded to ship if you cover S/H.

* Unknown board from "The Palantir Corporation" (c) 1988 - has a
Motorola 68020.  16-bit ISA.  Maybe a co-processor board?
