OK, if you are not familiar with it, CAMAC is a standard for 
data acquisition and control, that has 25-slot powered 
crates.  At the right edge, the last 2 slots are dedicated 
as controller slots.
This was a 3-slot set that could be used as a programmable 
controller for the CAMAC crate.
So, it has 3 CAMAC modules, one of which has the LSI11/2 in it.
But, since the LSI11/2 doesn't have memory on board, and the 
other boards don't seem to have any memory, it seems 
something is missing.  I think there must have been a 4th 
module that communicated by a ribbon cable across the 
front.  It may still be around here...
