From the project
Arithmetic Processor and Extension Board for MiniMax 8085 SBC
The MiniMax 8085 Arithmetic Processor and Extension board adds to MiniMax 8085 SBC an AMD Am9511A / Intel 8231A Arithmetic Processor Unit (APU), Intel 8255 Programmable Parallel Interface (PPI), Intel 8254 Programmable Interrupt Timer (PIT), and switchable 32 KiB SRAM, that can swapped in instead of MiniMax 8085 on-board ROM. It is designed to be plugged on the top of MiniMax8085 using 2x20 pin header / pin socket.
