   In 1988 or so, I used a similar OCR setup at work.  I think it was  
called Calera, but I'm not sure.  It used an ISA board with a 16MHz  
68020 and a bunch of memory on it.  It ran under DOS.  Its code was  
all RAM-based, and was downloaded into the board at boot time by  
programs run from autoexec.bat.
