I was given these two boards for free from a friend who was decluttering their garage.
One has two intel microcontrollers and the other has a Motorola MC6800 chip, other than that Im not able to find any information on what these are/where they are from.

1. Pentium 2 400, Aopen HX45, Aopen AX6BC, 256MB RAM, Voodoo 2 16MB 2x, SiS 6326 AGP, SB AWE64, floppy super disk drive

The first is definitely from a 5.25" HDD - MFM, RLL, or ESDI.
The IBM chip suggests PS/2 series, where ESDI drives were used.
Date codes from 1985, however, suggest something a little earlier.

The second one, which can be easily found according to strings such as WATERS 715, comes from WATERS 715 ULTRA WISP, which is a chemical analysis instrument used in laboratories.
