Default Does anyone have any information on the Basicom MC-1N?

Seven years ago next week, Raymond Schlachter posted an offer in this
group to sell his Basicom MC-1N computer and some accessories. I have
been digging all over to find any information about this machine, as I
think I have one.

Does this look familiar to anyone?

I've reverse-engineered most of the circuit, but the memory map eludes
me because it's all run by the 74S188 in the lower-right corner. I've
tried building a circuit to dump the PROM (it's only 32x8), but I'm
reading all zeros (not sensible, since the board _does_ work).

I can talk to this board via the 10-pin connector in the top-left
corner (power, serial and some I/O bits), but I can't address the
MM58174A clock chip nor the 8255 I/O chip.

I've tried the Basicom website, but they announce they are no longer
in operation.

Thanks for any light you can shed,
