There was a company called NNC located in Huntington Beach Ca in the 
late 70's or early 80's that made basic S-100 hardware.  I'll ask a 
friend to get the names and history, but you may have an actual NNC box 
and not a vector graphics system.

I don't recall VG's history but I think that a flood of their hardware 
appeared on the junk market and someone may have built up a box from 
parts using an NNC mainframe.

The NNC company built chassis with a backplane and power supply 
initially and tried to do the entire system before collapsing.  The 
manufacturer was actually a guy who built components from sheet metal, 
and found that building computer boxes was more profitable.  I don't 
know if there was a connection to VG but that would not be impossible.
