I managed to get a fully working enhanced Model II with the hard drive controller (Thats card is all I really wanted, so yay!...)
A few questions, because I’m going to scavenge it for the best parts and then hopefully find a good home for the Model II which does work and made it in one piece with just cheap compressible peanuts for packing....(sad head shake).
I have one of those 1MB boards, but this one came with a smaller 6MHZ board and two memory cards which I assume are 256k x 2 cards.
My 16 has the dog eared card with 256k and I was going to put the the 1MB card in its place once I get the RAM, whatever kind that is, I haven't done the research. I'm out of slots, so I need the most RAM on one card I can get for XENIX, and figured that would be enough for my plans. Whats the best way to tell what type of cards and how much memory is on them? I've been scouring and see things about modifying the older cards, piggy backing ram, etc/
It doesn't appear to have the PAL upgrade, and they are rare, but is there any reason its better than the dog eared one other than rare? I'm thinking it is better than the dog eared but is there any memory card compatibility issues with the dog eared?
