Wow, look at the one with 5 CPUs, that must be a power hungry beast... what are those anyways? They look like MC68030's or something like that.


They arent't CPUs, but protocol controller chips.
Info on http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/a4000io:

A4000 5 channel serial controller
- contains five Motorola MC68605 X.25 Protocol Controller chips
- these chips are designed for long-distance communication over phone lines or satellite links
- each chip supports full-duplex serial communication at up to 10 Mbps
- a Zorro II single channel version exists of the card, called "A2000 serial interface"
