The information in the artwork etching that appears along the edge of the PC
boards is more helpful than the chip stamps.

My guess, since you named the memory boards already, is that the other 2
boards are the CPU and disk controller (KDA-50)

The memory boards MUST be located in the 1st 2 slots of the system
(and if I remember, they also needed a ribbon cable)
