The batch dates on the devices point towards 1990.
The fact is, TI dropped a lot of it's diversification and concentrated
on more core business. Also dying are product ranges around the S100 bus
and other industrial systems, as Industrial pcs and networked plcs have
taken over. I still come accross them. I even come accross CP/M based
machines occasionally.
Most of the S100 systems as well as the other such devices were sold
modularly. You bought several boards - a sort of build your own PLC
approach. Many companies who were not Intel, or Motorola had 16 bit cpus
they were looking for ways to employ. Witness the reams written about
things like the Z8000. Other examples will no doubt spring to other
minds.
I'll bet you will find an answer there. Has it an FCC ID? I believe you can look them up. Has anyone got the URL for that?
