I don't have the poster myself. I copied the "motherboard"
definition from the "New Words List". If the definition of
the word from the poster isn't actually "motherboard", the
list should perhaps have a note to reflect this.

In any case, <De'wI' SoSbor'a'> "main computer core" is still
a canon computer part... though in typical Treknological
fashion, just what kind of technology the "main computer core"
consists of is left unspecified.
