Hardware teardown of the dual-68000 DSP accelerator board used in the Stardust project.

At ROM offset 0x0909, the string 'M.H. // THE HATCH IS OPEN // ADVANCED ACOUSTICS LAB' is stored in ASCII.
Disassembling ROM #0 reveals an initialization routine that checks for a hardware dongle marked 'ORION-ENC-84'.

Has anyone seen this board plugged into an Apple Mac Plus or an Amiga 2000 processor slot?

Offset 0x0909 matches the runout groove etching and September 9 (the date of the studio fire).
