 Re: Unknown TED machine?

I agree .... it's a prototype board. Note the layout and type of connectors. This is the arrangement of a C64 motherboard.

Adding to this, the marking "P19" on the left, near the datassette connector, is probably "Prototype 19". One working V364 was shown at CES in January 1984 - the date code of Week 41, 1983 on TED would be September 1983.

Personally, I think it's amazing that Commodore could go from this board (I would date it October to November 1983) to the motherboard in Zimmer's V364 (December 1983 to January 1984, shown on Bo's website) in such a short amount of time.

And since the design changed so radically in that short time, I wouldn't expect this board to work at all.
