Nope, it is not a 386 AT clone.  It is a Multibus board.  I wonder if the
bus on it is twice as wide as AT clone bus?  That would explain the factor
of two.

: I trust this "rcc" is real software that I'll be able to see running soon.

It appears to be real.  It is the compiler that whoever sells V3 for
the 386 will probably be selling.  As for who will be selling V3, that
is a mystery to me!  I would guess AT&T or Intel, but I have no idea.
