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

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?
