The Superboard II, also called Model 600, was quite the same board as the british clone Compukit UK-101.
It came in only ready built version and did not featured neither power regulation on board - User had to build or buy a 5V external power supply - nor RF modulator to display on a standard TV, but only a composite video output.
A 40 pin IC socket allowed an expansion board and OSI bus to be connected, giving access to memory expansion (up to 64 KB) and floppy drive controller.
See in the 'Read more' section a very interesting information about Mike Cheiky, the founder of OSI.

Does anyone know where I can get the pin headers to plug into the superboard II

Also a Superboard II owner, a machine I fondly remember. After a couple of years the masked roms developed a thermal fault (only worked when cold) but the documentation was so good that (even as a teenager) I was able to clone the whole machine onto a home made card-frame of veroboards (with the errant ROMs copied onto an eprom). That machine probably taught me more than the engineering degree I later took :)
