Superboard II

 The Superboard II, also called Model 600, was quite the same board as the british clone Compukit UK-101.

It came fully assembled and did not featur neither power supply (user had to build or buy a 5V external power supply), - nor RF modulator to display video output on a standard TV, but only a composite video output.

A 40 pin IC socket allowed an expansion board and OSI bus to be connected, giving access to memory expansion (up to 64 KB) and floppy drive controller.
