Each processor has a 68230 (parallel interface/timer), 32K RAM/ROM (mix of 6164's and 2764's), a UART, and some Rover specific circuitry (a shaft encoder interface and a FET motor driver). All the circuitry other than the 68008 and the 68230 is CMOS (mostly 74HC), so it draws very little power. Best of all (for this application, at least), we can fit two complete processor systems on one multibus card (note that it is NOT multibus compatable, we just use the cards because they are convenient). The 68008 runs at 8MHz. The board is designed and wrapped, but I'm still waiting for Hitachi to deliver on the 6164's ("any day now..."). If you're interested, I can send you more info. -m-
