I don't have silk screening on mine, but I'm pretty sure it was Processor Tech
that made it.  I bypassed the 4 slot and went straight to that backplane,
and its 16 slots.  It was the IMSAI that put in a 22 slot backplane.

PS.  Thanks for making me look at mine.  My machine was warm!
Turns out my add-on 8V supply has been on for the last couple of months
and I didn't even know it.
