It's a prototype Newton device, specifically a "Development
Verification Test" unit.

 From the Newton FAQ:

"Most of the units were configured as the original MP2000. There were
a few 4MB DRAM devices built in the DVT run (they therefore are like
the MP2100). Besides, some units have a special ROM Board with an
additional 8MB of flash for internal memory (bringing the total to
12MB). There may have been units with flash instead of ROM and with
16MB of ROM instead of 8MB."
