anyone recognize this blank board?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/311965565048 The same seller has a VT180 and some variant of the VT100 with an expansion board I don't recognize Interesting thing about the blank board is it says "VT-11X" on it and it looks like it would have been an 8-bit CPU looking at the string of DRAMs on it.

How to tell if a Displaywriter 6360 floppy has double-sided drives in it.

I don't know if this is always true, but it appears that the way you can tell is if there is a "T" on the lower right of the 6580 badge on the front. I didn't see this in the documentation anywhere. The controller inside is significantly different (3 boards instead of one). ++ | IBM|
