That indeed doesn't look like someone's bedroom hobby-prototype. Any chance on getting close-ups of the chips?

QuickPak 060 board?
It *does* have Altera chips on it, perhaps the board in question is indeed a prototype for the QP card?

Notice how the '3rd' Altera chip is missing (though there is space for it on the QP board) together with the 'IDE/SCSI' (?) headers (again, there is space for a header on the QP board).

The board layouts seem radically different from each other though :-?.
