That's basically what I said and think, that the large motherboard and it's accompanying ram/memory cards are professionally manufactured and the two small boards are most definitely etched by hand. And yeah, I did search and saw companies with the name "Condor" but none that seemed like they had anything to do with the early days of microprocessing, the name is fairly generic which always makes searching a bit difficult

Unfortunately, while I did try my best to get as much info about the owner/inventor as I could from the person that I purchased the boards from he couldn't tell me much about the guy, just that he did work for the DNR and Army that I think had to do with tracking and that hold some patents for some of his designs but he didn't even have the name of the guy. Apparently he bought the collection from the guy's son and I guess his son just rambled off some stuff about his father and that was it. Guess the buyer wasn't that interested in the background of the guy so he didn't hound the guy for hia life story like I would have, lol. It's a shame that these guys who purchase estate collections don't care about the history of the stuff and the owners, the people that buy the stiff from them do often and would probably even be willing pay more for the stuff if it's history came along with it.

All of this further supports my theory you've found a time machine. Why else would he be so vague?
 
I found a tube of ceramic MOS Technologies chips today in a lot I purchased from an estate. I have spent hours trying to identify this chip from its markings to no avail. Can anyone identify what this chip is?

For those who dont want to look at the photo: the markings are:
MOS
