I had a very strange find at the recycling yard today (not my usual chores day).
It seems to be some kind of very old (1976) #intel dev kit or something.
Also a bag with parts, mostly potys and power resistors.
And then some kind of control panel.
Not sure the two belong together.🤔
I wonder if this is trash, treasure or belongs in a museum.
Will have to investigate a little more, Google here I come.😄

After googling it, it seems to be indeed an Intel dev kit!🥳
Upon close inspection I can see that it has an Intel 8085A processor on it.
Found this website on it:

Intel SDK-85

Well after once finding an Amiga 500 and a Commodore C16 (both boxed) on the same day in that very container nothing surprises me anymore.

@RetroWizzard wow!!! This is unbelievable! Maybe aliens are baiting the container with a view to come back and abduct you later, it’s the only explanation

@RetroWizzard Wild. I've never seen a hex keypad. Very cool!

@RetroWizzard Those kinds of computer boards seemed common at the time for testing, training, and education.

@RetroWizzard nice, I thought it was a KIM-1 at first glance
