First prototype for a new replacement of the LanBox. The design was abandoned and this is the last existing board. Lots of patch wires (including swapping RAS and CAS of the memory, whoops).

The processor is significantly more powerful than the one in the later prototypes (LCX+/LCP/LCI), has an MMU, and at some point in the distant past I've managed to start a Linux kernel on it.

Last design files I could find:

It has a case (not shown on photo) but missing the front and back panels.
